A welcoming smile would be nice.

The rooms were clean, no air-conditioning but 2 fans which worked a treat. The welcome at reception was non existent along with any volunteered information, too hot for spa! no laundry facilities but still listed on hotels.com also very confusing re parking as on hotel.com no parking but as soon book parking is included!

We didn't like that there was no air-conditioning and no security screens and the door could be easily unlocked by accessing an opened window. The mattress was way too soft

Amazing stay, love the owners dog Sunday who is the resident pet for everyone who stays. Very clean and welcoming. Spacious and has all amenities from stove top, fridge, microwave and toasters... so if you dont want to hunt for dinner on the main street you can cook for your own (warning Sunday will come visit you for a sneaky snack)

The property is old and mutton dressed up as lamb . Very poor WiFi could not even use it only 1 bar and speed rating would not even connect. Didn’t supply any fresh milk and was told if we wanted milk for our morning coffee needed to walk down to the local shops and buy our own . The shower was very slippery and no slip mat was provided very dangerous as my wife is partially disabled and had problems stepping into it . The only positive we have for the place was the warm blanket on the bed otherwise it has been the worst place we have stayed so far

Impeccably clean, if somewhat quaint small motel in the north. Minimal sound or thermal insulation, a good heater is bolted to the wall in the kitchen/lounge area but not the bedroom. In mid July that could be a problem. Traffic noise from 5am so you won’t need an alarm clock. Good well appointed kitchenette and bathroom. A small column heater to take the chill from the bedroom would be ideal. Otherwise good for its price class and location.
