1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the sea views from the unit. Could hear the waves gentle lapping sounds from inside the unit. Sunny north facing unit. Bathroom had powerful shower. Newly refurbished, comfortable beds...great nights sleep. Absolutely spotless.
Jacquie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Well located, quiet, adequate comfort level. I would expect a motel to have a far better equipped kitchen than simply a toaster, microwave, electric wok and sandwich press - with no pots or pans.
Alan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely spot, right across from the beautiful beach! We really enjoyed our stay.
Joan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Only stayed the one night but the room was excellent, clean and comfortable and had a great view from our lounge area but that did mean that walkers could look in from the roadway.
Michael, 1-night trip
