Cons -
- The room is pretty old, bed is very soft and shakes when you move. There’s a strong mold smell in the mattress. The windows aren’t double glazed too.Shower is poor…amenities aswell… I think the only nice thing is the bed linen…
- Gap between wall and curtain where the sun can get in. Maybe think about using Velcro to seal the gap.
- the room door couldn't open smoothly at times.

Always a high standard. Now locks on doors and new curtains in the room.
Gap between wall and curtain where the sun can get in. Maybe think about using Velcro to seal the gap.
Great parking great location very clean
Super quiet rooms, sound proofed which is fantastic in CHCH
clean spacious room with garden view, large and comfortable beds, full kitchen amenities, bathroom was clean. Overall good and cost-friendly stay
the room door couldn't open smoothly at times.
Staff (a nice, very friendly and helpful lady) was fantastic.SKY movies around the clock.Lots of parking space.Basic shops just a walk away.Fully equipped kitchen.Location is good if you have a car, otherwise you'll need a taxi.
Great price, lovely and clean with everything we needed . Very friendly and helpful owner
No eating places close by.
Excellent bedding - well-made beds with beautifully clean sheets.
The outdoor space was filthy. It desperately needed sweeping and the rubbish picked up.
Convenient location, mostly clean
Tired and needs maintenance
location
grubby bathroom windows didn't shut kitchen equipment old and on general the whole block looks in need of modernisation
The lady in reception who also cleans ALL the rooms, does the big bins, mows the huge lawn and undoubtedly many other jobs, is fabulous, friendly and made our 8 day stay wonderful. We have dogs and it was so good, big back lawn, they loved it. Comfy bed, lovely linen, great shower with good water pressure. The kitchenette had everything I needed including microwave.
Nothing to dislike
Easy to find, comfortable, clean and good value for money.
Staff very friendly
Issue with the door, getting in at night. Paid to much for what this place is.
The location was great, good parking and comfortable beds, good water pressure.
The bathroom didn't have any extraction fan or a window that opened very well. Condensation on walls after shower and water came out of shower cubicle at a gap between glass and base.
Location
Initial room, windows didn't lock, moved to another room. Queen bed one side against wall, room poorly configured. Photos on website definitely not current
Good and central, affordable
Patio could of done with a good sweep, garden's need a good tidy up, these little things would make it look Abit more appealing.
Room was neat and clean, had everything we needed. Pet friendly outside area for our dog was sufficient and handy.
Outside area was not neat. Outside furniture was old and run down. Bathroom window could not lock.
Clean, tidy and staff were friendly and helpful.The fact we could bring our dogs made it better, we would come back any day.
