Very nice people from Scotland run this place. Put us in the back as it is quiet. Stayed 2 nights and dined at The Slip Inn. Try the apricot pizza. I know it sounds weird but it's amazing. More

This was a lovely place to relax for a one-night stop on a very tight schedule of driving and torrential rain. The room and facilities were super; the staff were very helpful and friendly. The position was perfect. On the main road it was easy to find but not too noisy, and a very convenient night stop to leave the... More

A great place to stay in a convenient location, close to the sea. We only stayed one night but thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our comfortable apartment was well laid out and provided everything we needed. We dined at The Slip Inn and enjoyed a good seafood meal. More

We were only staying for one night and we had a lovely relaxing stay.The unit was spotless and very comfortable and well equipped. The king size bed was awesome and we had a great sleep, it was lovely to wake up and have the opportunity to start the day with some plunger coffee. Thank you for a very pleasant stay... More

The room was great, just right for us. The front desk helped us find a place for dinner, which was great. The day was slightly rainy but the motel was a shiny part to the day. When I needed help with the laundry, the front desk staff came to help out with a cheerful attitude. More

We had a friendly welcome and some recommendations for eating out. Housekeeping was great and the little kitchen in the $85p/n room had all required utilities for our breakfasts (and... More

Recently stayed at the motel. The room was clean and comfortable and it was nice to be able to sit back on the sofa and watch TV on the rooms flat screen. The reception staff were smiley and helpful and it made a change to stay somewhere that offered free internet access - a real bonus! More
