Pleasant staff easy check in and good location but the property could do with a good clean to get rid of the green slime on stairs and leaves in the corridors …

Like the digital door locking system. Everything was good and the men behind the counter were very pleasant and helpful. Clean, well equipped and comfortable. Thank you.
Victoria, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We found it strange that the bedroom did not have a window. It was the way the unit was designed but did not like not been able to open a window. Outside in the car park could be tidier to make a more attractive entry.
Janet, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

A great clean, modern motel with balconies and the fresh air of the sea just a few mins away from your room. Lovely having a spa bath and a good strong hot shower. Things that marked it down were maybe some more blankets and had to ask for the linen for the sofa bed and when delivered no pillow cases. Some of the lights in the kitchen area were not working, they would have made a less harsh light for main living area. Lights
