I would not stay at this accomodation again. It is very over priced. It took us over an hour to get the tv to work. There was something splashed on the walls upstairs. There were no towels. Curtains were coming off the rails. No staff onsite and you had to go to another accomodation down the road to get the keys.

As I was arriving late I called to let them know my expected eta (it took several attempts before they answered - not very confidence inspiring). I was anxious about not having anywhere to sleep for the night. They said they’d sent me late check in details. Nothing arrived. I waited an hour and tried calling again - no answer. Before boarding my ferry I tried calling again but no answer so I sent an email. No response or check in info. When I got off the ferry, I rode to the address. Total darkness and no one around. I called the number which fortunately after some time was answered. I told them where I was & they said they were coming. 5 mins later still waiting in the dark, I called again & was told I had to go to another motel further up the road to get my key. You probably can’t appreciate it but after a long day & anxiety already high about not having a bed, being told (after I’d parked up the bike, waited in the dark) to get the key elsewhere, the experience was off the charts in the negative direction. All this could have been easily avoided by simply sending me the required info when asked. The reality is, the info should have been provided automatically without me needing to call & chase up. The room was ok from a cleanliness point, though carpet was threadbare in places and heavily stained. Damaged worktops & a stack of neglected building materials outside the kitchen window. This experience has affected my view of Wotif & my likelihood to use Wotif again.

The property had not been serviced properly upon our arrival. No towels etc. Few utensils in kitchen. Curtains were hanging off rails. Had to walk three properties away to access keys. Parking, location excellent. Rooms were spacious. Furniture and bedding were very good. Overall, we found the motel suited our visit. After speaking with the manager, our room was well serviced.

The motel unit we were in needs to be cleaned from top to toe - specifically doors, walls and the shower. There was a strong, overpowering perfume smell in the unit. It permeated all our clothing and belongings and was awful. The place has potential - bedrooms upstairs are huge, its in a great location. It is just dirty and very tired. Service on site was non existent and had to collect key from another motel up the road once I phoned to find out what was going on.

No name on motel or instruction on reception door or website booked through that you need to check in at completely different motel. Luckily a staff member was at motel for us to ask. Advertise Sky but not available otherwise room large and comfortable. Would stay again. Good price. Plenty of parking.

When checking in no reception on the property no notice or anything. Rang their phone number and was told they didn't have reception on property that we had to check in at their other motel down the road. When we went into room it was smelly and dirty toilet broken and no sky tv as advertise. Rang back again and complained. Lucky we we upgraded to the other motel and that was a lot better. Settlers is not what they advertised and would not recommend we will definitely not return. Is nothing like advertised.

Unfortunately, other than the exterior, the rest was really REALLY unpleasant! The cleanliness of the unit was appalling. The floors had not been mopped for quite sometime, the grime on skirtings stood out like a sore thumb, carpets were badly stained and dirty, surfaces hadn't been wiped for who knows how long, and there was a really strong damp/mould smell in the unit. The furnishings were really worn and stained and really dated, the bed was incredibly hard and uncomfortable and, I woke up with some kind of bites all over me (either fleas or mites)!! In addition, the room was really cold and there was 1 very small heater to heat the unit AND, only the coverlet on the bed and no additional blankets in the unit to keep you warm especially in winter while it is raining! On top of all this, I struggled to find the motel as there wasn't a sign for it on the road and when I did arrive, there was no one at reception (despite being within office hours). I phoned the motel and was told to go to another motel further down the road as they run all 3 on this road. Had I arrived via taxi, I would have needed to cart all my luggage 50 metres in the pouring rain with a foot injury just to check-in. Lucky for me, I had a vehicle so just drove up the road to them and back again. However, this is inconvenient and there is no instructions prior to booking making you aware of this.
