Whilst the room was very good and suited our needs, we had very little hot water coming out of the shower and at one point had none! Made showering for the 4 of us difficult!

Ideally located a 15 minute drive from the city, rooms renovated to a high standard. With a separate bedroom with twin beds, queen bed , sofa bed and kitchenette we found the accommodation provided great value. On-site Hotel & restaurant an added bonus. Will definitely book again.

Parking is limited close to the room unless you are there early. We had to park our car a little distance away which we weren't happy about.
The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean with everything you could need.
