This property fitted our need for a convenient base while attending local wedding events. Staff were courteous and accepting of a correction we offered regarding the opening times of cafe next door. The fittings were a little rundown but overall the motel is value for money. Thanks team!

We were sent three messages in the days leading up to check in demanding our check in time and also reminding us that they do not provide temporary accommodation. Not really what we want to hear as paying guests who are not sure of our arrival time and had prepaid for the room.
