        Loved the quiet comfort of this modernised 2 bedroom unit. Lovely new kitchen and bathroom. A great night's sleep was had. Only difficulty was the TV remote- too hard to use when tired after 3 nights in a noisy motel elsewhere!

        Nice enough but avoid unless...”

        The place was fine but after a long day in the saddle I arrived tired, hungry and late to be told they didn't have my Agoda booking, saying they had problems with that booking company. Why use a company that causes problems? It wasn't welcome news. Luckily there was still a unit available but too bad if there hadn't been. The guy was nice enough about it but it was a twenty minute period of uncertainty I could have done without.
