Unfortunately we only stayed one night on our way back to the airport, but wish it had been longer. A lovely motel with spacious and well furnished rooms with all amenities. Parking right outside the door. Well presented site. Staff were friendly and helpful in providing information Short walk into town for food and pub. Would definitely stay here again should we return this way

The beds really let this property down. The king bed was a zip together and was saggy. It was cold with no electric blanket and a underlay that didn't even cover the full size of the bed, wasn't fitted so moved in the night, leaving just the bare mattress, not so hygienic. I would think more underneath layers for hygiene would be on a bed. A better top layer would have helped. I get they use zip together beds but you then need sufficient sized sheets. As a winter resort you would think it would focus on warmth. The kids were cold in their single beds also. The layout of the motel was good with the two rooms for a family.
