10/10 Exceptional

Pleasant stay as usual, Thankyou Eddie and staff :)
H, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved the motel very clean had a well stocked kitchen area and underfloor heating, the only thing that I could suggest is in the winter when it’s very cold if you turn the heating on the day the people arrive as it took a little time to get the room warm. Other than that I will definitely book the hotel again.
