We would stay here again. However, a bit of renovation is needed - all a bit tired. We opted to include breakfast and dinner when we booked. Both were good value. Room was spacious and shower water pressure good, but rom could have been cleaner. I suspect that the basics of cleaning are done but a proper spring clean isn't! Overall very good value.

Photos on the booking page are not an accurate representation of the premises. In reality the “resort” is nothing more than a travellers motel - hence disappointing upon arrival. Having said that, it is a decent and clean motel for a short stay. Friendly staff and free dinner and breakfast are nice bonus.
