The motel was very spacious, clean and comfortable, the bathroom was large, the kitchenette well equipped, it was very reasonably priced, plenty of parking and the staff were exceptionally friendly - perfect for our stay with kids and Grandma!

This reasonable accommodation is very clean and has good sized units. The studio units have cooking facilities and are well equipped. The two bedroom units have plenty of room for families and have a full oven as well as a microwave. While older units the decor is neutral. Location was good as close to town centre and the ferry.

What a surprise, don't be fooled by the age of this motel, built in the 1960s and still going strong. For comfort, cleanliness and a very warm welcome from the owners. We were pleasantly surprised. This is a full equipt motel with all cooking appliances and this came in very handy when we have gifted a Cray Fish from one of the locals. Comfort is the rule here with great bathroom and toilet facilities in the room

Room tip: To me, it appeared that all rooms were of a high standard and well maintained
