We had a truly wonderful stay at this luxurious hotel. The room was impeccably clean and comfortable, with ample space for our family. The beds and pillows were so comfy, ensuring a restful night's sleep. We were also pleasantly surprised to find a variety of nice teas, hot chocolate, and biscuits, which were a lovely touch. Our children absolutely adored the on-site playground and had a great time helping to feed the alpacas. The hotel's location was ideal, as it was close to everything we needed, including shops and the bus station.

We wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay.

United Kingdom, December 2022

Great Value and comfortable stay. Superb Customer Service. the motel's fantastic location meant we had quick access to a local supermarket and the sights of the city were very close. the rooms were well-equipped and tidy—an excellent choice to relax and unwind.

The location of the motel was further out of town than we would have preferred. However, it wasn't a significant concern as it was just a short drive into town.
