This was a real gem! Very reasonably priced, spotlessly clean and perfect for our needs. The beds were comfortable and the room very cosy. It was great that we could park near the door because it was raining. There was even some TimTams in the refrigerator which we made very short work of with our tea and coffee. I would definitely stay here again!
