We stayed three nights and at a budget price the accommodation was very good. The bedroom was large and most importantly very clean, towels are in need of replacing. Our room included a microwave and kettle , plates and utensils so we were able to reheat food and eat in…it’s a shame there is no dinning room as I would have enjoyed getting out breakfast at our accommodation. Would I stay there again or recommend it to my friends? my response is YES, it’s an old fashioned motel at an affordable price with very clean and comfortable beds.

It was very nice to arrive with the heater already on as it was foggy and raining and less than 10° on arrival. Electric blanket was also turned on one side of the bed which was a bonus just to have an electric blanket so thank you.
