The property was very well presented and set a standard to measure other accommodation by. The kitchen was well setup (unlike many other properties) and rooms very clean, roomy and comfortable.
Excellent value.

I have stayed in some motels recently and this is by far the most enjoyable one I have been in. The feeling I got from the staff and the owner is that they actually care about their guests - they are not just a number. Facilities are excellent and very clean and well looked after. Will definitely stay again.
