A good medium-sized motel with good service and spacious rooms. Despite being close to the street, the room was quiet and well equipped. The air conditioning is particularly pleasant in summer. So recommended it hits best.

Kitchen needs a clean

Property itself it’s great but the utensils in the kitchen need a good clean. Cups and cutlery were dirty, we had to rewash everything before we could use it. Cooktop dirty too. The rest of the property was nice and clean. No complaints

The staff were super friendly, the room was spacious and had everything we needed, and the setting was lovely. The price we paid through the Expedia app was more than we would normally pay for a property of this level. This place is fabulous if you get a good deal, and we would stay again if we were travelling to Thames.
