Unfortunately not very comfortable bed, plus 4 coffee sachets and 4 sugar packets didn’t really hit the mark ##### Gareth Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cheryl Jun 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The proprietor's were lovely, and did their absolute best to provide a wonderful experience, unfortunately the pool was too cold to swim in and it would be quite noisy with the truck air brakes during the week, the beds really do need to be updated to more modern mattresses. All in all though it was a lovely and staff were just wonderful. ##### Cheryl Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Toby Mar 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A clean and tidy motel with basic but adequate facilities. Good value. Convenient breakfast. A good spot to stop en route. 8 year old reports that his “bunk bed was squeaky but it had a playground and lots of space and needs more playground equipment” and gives 3/5\. 6 year old reports it was “a little bit small” but gives 5/5\. Wife felt “was like a school camp motel” but still 4/5\. Overall, a good result! ##### Toby Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### andrea Mar 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely stay Room was clean and spacious.
