Merry Acres, a Beautiful Place
The room was a perfect size, the bed comfortable, parking right outside the room, which was very convenient. The staff was friendly and professional, providing information. A breakfast was offered, but we had an early flight so could not partake in the meal. The grounds were well kept, no debris laying around. I would definitely stay here again.

Will definitely stay again.
This is a pretty decent place for the price. Safe and the pub on-site was perfect after a long day of traveling.
The only negative I have is that during the evening, a very large cockroach ran across my floor. I killed it and flushed it down the toilet. I grew up in the country and am an avid camper, so incidents like that generally don't bother me. Plus, all the rooms are at ground level, so you can expect that from time to time.

Lovely place; great food at the Pub. All staff were very welcoming and customer service oriented.
Loud noises several times throughout the night due to a wedding party at the pool.

Hotel seems to have seen better days - everything a bit worn and tired. Dingey bathroom with dripping tap and chipped tub. Staff seemed bored and indifferent; breakfast poor.

While the property is older, the room had all the modern features as a new hotel,(coffee maker,microwave, fridge, hair dryer etc.) The room was spotless! Beds were comfortable and the location of the room was quiet. The check in was quick and efficient, the clerk lovely and friendly. We did not partake of the breakfast, as we left to early to enjoy it. All in all a perfectly pleasant and budget friendly experience.
