    Due to an issue with the booking system, our room was double booked - but this was quickly & proactively sorted out by the staff before our arrival. We stayed at their sister motel in the same street. We were very happy with the customer service...

    Lovely hotel. Would stay there again. They changed our room willingly as I don’t like a shower over the bath, and did not charge any extra. Staff were all lovely and very professional.
