Aubyn Court Spa Motel

Aubyn Court Spa Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Good comms prior to arriving. A beautiful place (Room 16) with a spacious room, clean and modern with great kitchen and dining utensils. Excellent mobility parking and bathroom rails. Thank you. Excellent amenities. Wonderful Housekeeping staff, thank you. The spa bath is a good size, but the jets need to be way stronger to have any ‘spa’ effect. It was my only disappointment but was the main reason for booking."
