Great place to stay. Our room had two single beds and there was plenty of room. The room was clean and tidy. Beds were comfortable. It also had a little desk in the hallway with microwave and toaster plus crockery and cutlery. Really appreciated it for breakfast as we had some bread in the car, so we had some toast to go with our coffee in the morning before we left. They also serve great meals at the pub there, which was a nice surprise, better than just your average pub meals. I would stay there again.

Super friendly staffs. Nice food at the bar, spacious and comfy room

The hot and cold water signal on the tab in the shower is wrong located. We switched all the way to the “red” - means hot water, and wait for a while but no hot water coming. We thought: Oh no may be it’s late at night time, no more hot water… until my partner turn it all the way to the “blue” signal - for Cold water, then the hot water came out. A bit confusing for us but it’s okay. Everything else was good

We ate at the restaurant as there weren't any choice outside after 6.30pm. The restaurant staff were very friendly and provided very good service. The pork ribs I ordered was really big portion and I struggled to finish - it was good but too much meat for me...lol.

The shower kept dripping and the noise affected our sleep somewhat. I can hear snoring sounds from the next room. The corridor and room have certain odour. We only stayed one night which is ok. If you want more comfortable stay, I suggest other places.

Good price/quality balance. The beds were comfortable, room was clean, shower had good pressure. It’s not the most amazing place I’ve stayed, but for the cost we were very satisfied. The motel is connected to a good restaurant/bar, which is very convenient.

Facilities are dated, but clean. No real complaints, especially for the cost.

Room was old and tired but very clean and comfortable. Good value for price. Great meal in bar. Nice bar for relaxing in

Continental breakfast could be provided and included included in price. Whilst available as an extra cost it seemed expensive for a basic breakfast offering.

We were lucky to book just before Christmas and it was quite bigger room than we expected. And there were microwave and electric hobs in a kitchenette. So we could use microwave luckily.

There are no sheer curtains so people passing in front of our room can see inside the room.

The dripping water on our shower which give us noisy noise the whole day and the tv cannot turn on but apart from that it was a pleasant expwrience to stay.

My room was better than the pictures. The facilities were super nice, bed super comfy. Everything felt fresh. I was super happy with my stay.

If I have to say anything negative - no breakfast.

Great handy to highway location. Big room & bathroom. Modern bathroom with fantastic shower pressure. Easy parking.

Electric blanket directly under bed sheet. Wires showing from electric blanket. Perhaps mattress protector?

Great place, owners and staff made us feel welcome. Accommodation and food was great. The food was the best I’ve had at any pub in England, Wales, Australia or NZ

Nothing to dislike.
