Ideally located a 15 minute drive from the city, rooms renovated to a high standard. With a separate bedroom with twin beds, queen bed , sofa bed and kitchenette we found the accommodation provided great value. On-site Hotel & restaurant an added bonus. Will definitely book again.

Parking is limited close to the room unless you are there early. We had to park our car a little distance away which we weren't happy about. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean with everything you could need.

The room was clean, the bed very comfortable and the staff were nice. We had a lack of sleep due to barking dogs and drunken patrons arguing outside our room each night.Also parking was at a premium. Could not park near our room. It's a case of first in best dressed.
