Good location, just a short walk from the arty shops, with some lovely walks, beaches and fantastic scenery. Accommodation good value, and nice to overlook the gardens. A wardrobe and bedside tables would have been welcome additions as there was very little provision for getting clothing out of cases, but the rest of the facilities were good.

Inside was clean and had good beds. A couple of extra things in the kitchen would be helpful like a fish slice but was great to have paper towels when cooking. Outside maintenance was a little tired but nice courses area for kids to play. Our front door was quite sticky to open.

We really enjoy the stay at the Motel - a lovely place for a few nights stay. Really clean interior with a homely feel. The motel is close to shops nearby for meals, beach and tourist attraction.
