We arrived in exhausted but found our host lovely and keen to tell us about their town. We had a lovely stop over and felt very comfortable. The accomodation seemed a little old world but actually was comfortable and pleasant. Jan was most helpful too.

Quiet rooms away from the main road
The motel is situated out of the town centre which is a bit inconvenient, but on the plus side they are in a quiet area. While to rooms themselves are comfortable and clean they are a bit outdated and could do with a sprice up.
