The room was clean and fresh. The bed was comfortable. Bathroom and kitchenette facilities were good. Good location, very quiet due to short driving distance off the main highway. A few minutes' walk to the supermarket in the main street for supplies. Good value for money and ideal for a stopover to break a long drive. Friendly host. Check in and out very easy.

Very clean, well appointed, good kitchen and bathroom

Not something that the owners could do much about, but there were a lot of bees and wasps about and keeping the door and windows shut was difficult on a warm day; perhaps consider insect screens? also the early morning rooster next door was unfortunate.

It was very clean and beds were comfortable. A good bathroom set out as well. Good location that was beautifully quiet!

Was a wee bit cramped with the single bed in the room as well - so we used it to put our bags on. Also, didn't really like having to fill the jug and do the dishes in the bathroom sink - but realise that is due to the compact space.

We stayed only one night as we were passing through. The beds were comfortable and the room and bathroom were very clean. The Reception were very helpful and gave us milk for our coffee and tea. Would recommend. The town had a wonderful restaurant, The Cowshed restaurant with the best pizza and a lovely garden to sit in. Perfect summer's evening.

Small but comfortable units which had sufficient amenities. It was a short walk into the town where there was a hotel and restaurant open at night. WFI was good. Value was very good and the unit was comfortable. Overall an enjoyable stay.

This motel is located a block or two off the main street in a quiet area. Comfortable beds. Adequate kitchen, facilities and parking right in front of our room. Just right for a one night stay

No air conditioning, but there was a fan
