This motel is quiet, clean and well appointed (love the spa bath) and has the attention to detail that I enjoy in any motel. Things like the biscuit with the hot drinks, large size towels, (and plenty of them), free Sky movies all added that touch of enjoyment to our stay.

Very clean, comfy bed, lovely warm unit, 7min walk to the hospital. Perfect wee kitchenette that had everything i needed to prepare my meals.
