Comfortable bed but that was about it. Room smelt like alcohol and cigarette smoke. Cigarette butts found under furniture. Used dirty dish cloth, mimimal cutlery, cups etc, half used toilet roll. Great location to local area but overall will not be returning. Was brushed off by front of staff when i complained.

This is in a fabulous location and looks like it’s just been taken over. A bit run down but big rooms and lovely setting. Rooms have leaky basin. Cracked tiles and sorry but my pet hate. Hair in the shower drain. I liked it but needs a refresher.

Absolute disgrace. Motel is also being used as a halfway house for people with drug problems. Room was dirty and we didn’t have enough Glen20 to rid the smell in the room. Spa doesn’t work and the a/c is very average. Steer clear of this place.

All pretty good, little bit tired and worn in places but overall nice and quiet. We had enquired about disabled access and booked the family room as we had a wheel chair and walker. When we found two big sets of stairs on arrival we were very surprised. We did end up with much smaller rooms that had no full kitchen etc and still 5 steps to contend with but appreciated having somewhere to stay after our 3 hr drive. It would be good to update the info around disabled access and educate the staff too as this would be a real issue for some people. I managed to get everyone up and down each day but it felt dangerous!

Room was good, but the bathroom could have been better, signs of mould between wall tiles, cracked floor tiles. Access to the room was up several flights of steep stairs (it was raining), difficult for both of us, 70yrs plus Us

Anna as manager was terrific. Room was very spacious and more than met our needs. Bed was excellent. Only issue we had was the access to hot water for showers - Anna fixed that and after waiting 7 minutes - it worked well.

Should have read the reviews first. Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere. Rooms- grubby. Cobwebs in the corners of the rooms stains in the walls and sink. Cleaners left a kitchen sponge for us to reuse and used cotton buds on the ground. Bathroom- Bathtub has clearly not been cleaned in a long time (see photos). Tiles lifted and one falling off the wall. Outside- Paths full of overgrown weeds.
