Family health issue needed us to stay close to hospital at short notice. Awesome service as we had to extend our stay not once but twice which was problem. Rooms were nice.

Rod and his team are so lovely, the rooms are very clean and spacious and well equipped. All staff are friendly and helpful. Nice and close to town but still nice and quiet even during really busy periods. Highly recommend staying here.

Great spot to stay. Super friendly and helpful staff. We were in a bit of a jamb and the lovely lady let us check in at 8am . Definitely got us smiling again. Great food nearby within walking distance and would definitely stay again
