Perfectly Appointed Rooms

I have to say, the layout of our motel room was the nicest I've seen in years! It was spacious, clean, and included a well-equipped kitchen. The king bed suite we stayed in came with a spa bath, which was a lovely touch for relaxation.

I had a wonderful stay! The motel is beautifully set off the road, giving it a lovely quiet ambiance perfect for relaxation. My room was spacious and well-equipped, even featuring a spa bath, which was such a treat after a long drive. The outdoor patio was a delightful spot for pre-dinner drinks, though the nearby weekend market added a lively touch to my stay. Overall, excellent value for money, but be prepared for a short drive if you plan to visit the nearby town frequently.
