Was perfect for 5 of us staying there - great location, easy to get to and plenty of off-street parking for the 2nd vehicle. It was even suggested taking the mountain bikes off the back of the camper and taking them inside for safety (we were going to do it anyway). 2 toilets very useful but only 1 bathroom created a queue for the shower in the morning. Beds very comfy as well

This is a very family friendly property. Staff were very helpful and maintain a very high level of cleanliness. The resident cat is adorable and made us feel at home. The only small issue , is that there is very little soundproofing so you can hear voices from adjoining rooms. Would definitely go back again.

Excellent Room!!
Our stay was wonderful! The room was great. Downstairs we had a kitchette, dinner room table, sitting area and bathroom. The bedroom was upstairs. We had a private patio with a hot tub and the parking was right outside your door. Check in and check out was simple enough.
Would definitely stay here again!

Great location. Easy 2 min drive into the main food district.
Great accommodation. Large comfortable bed. Heaters very effective.
Main negative was the shower head. A very old mixer head that came out of the wall about chin height. Unfortunately the water pressure was so weak I had to wash my hair in the basin- not something you want in a hotel with lots of sweaty hikes and spas around it.
Apart from this, we would stay again due to the room size and location
