We stayed just one night. We have recently travelled through UK and these facilities were so much better for a third of the price. The rooms are roomy with a very comfortable sofa, table and chairs, fridge and decent bathroom which was very clean. Would stay again.

The price was very reasonable but the room was very small for two adults. As it was for only one night it was OK. We could not sit at the table for our breakfast as there was only room for one chair and to boil the kettle we had to sit it on the floor to leave room for the toaster. I would not class this as a double room.. I have used this before and this is the second time my partner has stayed here, we would stay again due to the price.

We were given Room 1, which had the best waterfront view of the Derment River. Overall, quite good for 3 star rated Motel. Limited carparking, but they are upgrading and extending a further car parking area. Only Cereal in small packets and white toast bread and toppings available to self-serve in your room. No dining facility available. The throw rug to keep warm with hadn't been washed for a long time and had a terrible odor, but they promptly gave us another one the next day after we mentioned the problem to them. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
