The bed was very comfy and the shower was a perfect temperature (a different tap to what I've seen before - worked well). The owner was very nice.

We chose this motel as we have a small dog. I didn't realize how pet friendly they are! Our cottage was entirely surrounded by fences along with a gate to keep our wee girl contained. It meant she was able to roam outside without running away. So good! Lovely owners too. Thanks so much we will definitely come back to stay.

Great overnight stay. Surprisingly quiet given how busy the Street is. (I'm a light sleeper too). Everything needed was in the little cottage. The coffee plunger was a nice treat and appreciated. Thankyou.

We stayed in one of the cottages, was awesome to be able to bring our dog. Especially since a lot of places don’t allow bigger dogs. The front outside area is fenced off with a big gate so we were able to have our boy out there without worrying about him getting out. We loved the privacy and the garden feel the outside area provides. Everyone was super friendly and we don’t enjoy city noises, but ...

I stayed at Cranford Cottages and Motel with my dog for an evening. The service was great, they even loaned me a phone charger when I discovered I hadn't brought one. The gated deck is fantastic for peace of mind when having to let your dog out. The room was spacious and the heatpump made it really warm. I was very impressed with the water pressure in the shower. I would recommend a stay here!
