Lovely accommodation – spotless and ideal for families. Spotlessly clean and ideal for my daughters and me while visiting Leigh. Access was easily arranged by the owners, even with a short-notice booking.

Excellent motel. Clean, modern and beautifully decorated. One of the nicest places we’ve stayed, with thoughtful extra touches like cookies, olive oil and paper towels. Couldn’t ask for more.
