FALSE INFORMATION

I was told that Room 1 and 6 was allocated to our families. When we arrived the rooms were changed. We prepaid 3 months in advance and they do not keep to their promises. Disappointed and not acceptable.

Room was clean and staff were excellent. If you stay there use their dining facilities. Ate there both nights and both meals were 10 out of 10 and cheaper than most places. I will definitely stay there on my next trip. The owner was very friendly as were all the staff I had contact with. Great place to stay.

From checkin, the whole experience was great. Friendly reception, clean facilities, a very quiet area in spite of main road traffic which was never intrusive. The other staff were friendly too but I was particularly impressed by thr restaurant's willingness to provide food with room service. Well done!
