The warmth with which the staff welcomes you is exceptional. This is the second time I've stayed here, and I feel like I'm part of the family again.

Nelson stay recommended
The room was nice and spacious. Portable heater was amazing and the room felt cozy even in winter. The staff was nice and helpful, even with my hair dryer request. The location is good, close to supermarkets, restaurants, and petrol station. Free parking on the site. Comfortable check out time at 11.

Great accommodation affordable and clean
Was in a single room with a bathroom. Had everything needed for a short stay. Quiet after 10 at night enjoyed reading the books in the bedside cabinet! Kitchen clean and well-stocked. TV lounge very nice. Car parking at the rear a big plus!

- • Could use some plaster and paint indoors but understand this is difficult to achieve unless you shut rooms down one at a time for repainting. Cosmetic only I guess! Bar staff could be more attentive. Stood at the bar waiting to ask for the wifi password which I had forgotten, while the barman had huge laughs with another patron over some photos on her phone. Only when I said oh come on, did he notice me. He said he thought I was part of the group already in the bar (which totaled exactly 6 people!). Surely he would notice a new arrival… Got the password. Did not stay for a drink as planned
