Room was clean and comfortable, but wind howling through the door so loudly was not pleasant at all!! High pitched whistling made it very hard to relax! Location really wasn’t convenient. Not within walking distance of anything. Nothing around. Had to drive into town. Only restaurant close by not good at all!

Room as spacious. All the amenties you'd need. Breakfast was more than adequate. Easy check in. Probably time to ditch Sky TV in favour of access to Netflix or Prime? Friendly staff.
