I was disappointed in this accomodation. I think the photos are very old and do not give a true idea of the accomodation. It is very dated. The hot water was a problem. Each time I wanted to have a shower, the water did not warm up for at least 5 minutes. I hate wasting water and this really annoyed me. I spoke to reception and she acted like I was stupid not to realise that in hotels this was normal. I will not be returning.

Great place to stay. We stayed in a large room with two single beds and one queen bed. The motel also has an outdoor swimming pool which includes a hot spa. If the pool is too cold the spa will be just right. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

I couldn’t even stay at this property it was so terrible and I had to book another hotel. The room was outdated, grotty, with a yellow congealed liquid in a bowl with the milks at the bottom of the fridge. I was also met by a Huntsman spider on the carpet in my room. Can’t fault the staff as they offered to move me to another room, but I just couldn’t face it and had to stay somewhere else in the end.
