Very good value. The single bed is in the lounge, which gave privacy from the queen bed in the separate bedroom. Shower over the bath which can be challenging for older people. Grout by the bath could do with some bleach. Only two chairs for three people. We used the couch for extra seating. A cutting board in the kitchen would be useful. As said, good value for the price paid.

Comfortable room
Comfortable large room with electric frypan so more ways to cook than just the microwave. Motel is on a busy road and windows are not double glazed so lots of traffic noise through out the night. Trucks etc.

The staff were exceptionally good. We really felt at home, and knew that whatever we needed would be sorted. We loved the spa bath, and the ability to have breakfast and dinner in our rooms. Some of the window clasps need fixing, and some ventilation in the bathrooms would be helpful. Otherwise it was warm and cosy!!
