The property was clean and neat however, the bed was very uncomfortable. The room could do with a refurb as it is a bit outdated. The staff were very friendly and helpful, made us feel very welcome and our check in easy as we arrived late.

Room was clean and tidy. Facilities to make a coffee, but the kettle would not fit under tap in the bathroom so made that a little tricky. Overall ,a pleasant and comfy stay.

the reception was always unattended. Looks like a ghost town. Owner was busy doing renovation works away from reception in one of the rooms. Location was too far from city. Food, drinks and shopping was only available by car. Certainly not to be recommended @$113.00 per night! Carpet had granite pebbles and hurriedly vacumed. Room was comfortable.
