Really nice property that was perfectly located for a function we were attending. It had everything we need. A very minor point is an extractor fan in the bathroom would be useful.

Excellent!

I loved my stay here. The room was spotlessly clean with brand new bedding and recently decorated walls plus why I think was a new carpet. The in room coffee was excellent and the service from reception was exemplary. Would highly recommend a stay here

In the heart of the village!

Lovely motel perfectly located near the centre of ‘the village’. A short stroll to the beach and cafes. Room was immaculately clean and the service was friendly and fast.
