Easy stroll to the main shopping area on the Esplanade, and 10-15 minutes walk to the footbridge and beach. Staff were helpful and the room was clean and well-presented. Parked right in front of the door to the room. Would stay here again.

Very disappointed with the motel. Stayed here two years ago. Lovely couple made us so welcome BUT it has now changed hands. The room was ok ish. Bed clean. Needed a good vacuum. Decor old and out of date. No milk supplied or tea towel and wettex. Outside of the property was run down and messy. Gutters full of grass and lawn over grown. If we hadn’t paid we would not have stopped. We were the only guests. Don’t bother booking here.

Sorry but this accommodation was a let down, they have put a lot of effort into trying to make it homely but it just dropped the ball in a few places. The toilet was not clean and it was the worst bed ive slept on in years

Ideal room & nice touches

Perfect stay, rooms clean, tidy & bed comfy with great linen & duvet. The little touches of homemade cookies, welcome note and the weather for the next day with chocolates was a great touch. I have stayed in a number of places in Lakes, and this one is so far my favorite so will definitely be returning.
