Only one night there, but pleasant and clean rooms, quiet setting, lovely hot shower, delicious dinner in the restaurant and absolutely no fuss booking in and leaving. Plenty of grounds for an after dinner stroll under a full moon.

Homely and comfortable but needs a good clean
Stayed here a couple of times, and for a cheap and cheerful country motel it's fairly comfortable for the price. Rooms are nothing flash but everything I needed was there so happy at this price point. The manager is a funny character and the meals on site were homely. If I'm honest I expect some city guests would probably say it's behind the times, the meals typical of 1980's pubs and everything generally a bit slow. But I think they know their clientele (a lot of workers it seems) and I expect they're happy with it. For my part I didn't mind, enjoyed a bit of country hospitality for a while. One thing I really have to mention however was, even at this budget price, the cleanliness of the room was really below standard. There are surfaces caked in dust, and the bathroom riddled with mould. It just really needs a thorough once-over and then try to maintain that. One last thing, there were a lot of workers outside my door having beers and smoking, and the smoke filled my room. I don't mind these blokes probably want a beer at the end of the day, but it'd be better if they had somewhere that doesn't affect other guests' enjoyment.

Friendly and helpful staff. I received a phone call from the cleaning staff not long after checking out to say that I had left something behind, and where I could pick it up. Woulf stay again if ever the need arose.

You pay for what you get. On a low budgetthe place
The rates are cheap and I must admit you pay for what you get. Eg. To fill the kettle for water the basin is not deep enough to fit the kettle. The hand basin is outside the bathroom in the living quarters.
