Amazing little spot. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Even about motorcycles which is a passion of mine. Room is clean, modern with excellent views. I stayed at a second flood and still had great views. Very relaxing for a single night stop over. Will consider it in summer for longer breaks. Thank you

Dated

Staff were friendly and obliging however the hotel is very dated and in desperate need of renovation. All parking in the open and the pool area is in need of a lot of work.
