“We stayed here for our honeymoon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2012

My wife stayed on a Friday night in order to get ready for our wedding day the next day and then we both stayed on the Saturday night. The room was clean, warm and the quality of furnishing was of a high standard. I wouldn't hesitate to return back to the motel and would gladly recommend to others.
