Clean property, pub next door for food. Property not manned after early evening so if you get locked out there's a call out fee, not that we had to use it. Found it surprising no one on reception early evening as it's a large operation.

Room was good & great bed! Cleanliness could be improved a little ( bathroom tiles/grouting need a scrub & carpet & armchair could do with a shampoo & freshen up). Overall though, pretty good.

Easy check in, friendly lady at the desk. Room was clean with all necessary amenities. Best block out curtains ever - actually worked and allowed my children to sleep in. Awesome size tv too - great for a short term stay with my family.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Absolutely do not recommend this place—save your money! For what you pay, you can find somewhere much better. It's vastly overpriced for what it offers. The kitchen had cockroaches, the bedsheets were stained, and there was rubbish left on the bedside table. I really wish I had read the reviews before booking. People were smoking in the pool area, and the entire courtyard smelled of cigarette smoke (and I’m a smoker, so that’s saying something). To top it off, a man was passed out by the pool with an ironing board next to him, using it as a table for snacks—he seemed like he might have been homeless. I’m beyond disappointed and will never stay here again.

The room was not overly clean, dirt and dust present on all surfaces, mould in grout in showers, the bed seems like it is on some strange angle and that it is quite old with no support left in it. The outdoor area was very dirty and full of cob webs, checking the outdoor chairs we removed multiple red back spider nests. Staff were very lovely, made our check in that occurred late easy without complication and stress, so a huge thank you for that. The establishment has the potential to be a lovely motel with some further attention to detail in cleaning and updating of beds would be a high recommendation. Again, thank you to the staff for helping me arrange our late check in with ease. Lauren & Brendan
