Only there for one night the restaurant was closed which was a shame as the menu looked good, not the motels fault.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
It would be nice to have a hob in the kitchen and smart TV with apps eg YouTube in the room
Otherwise it was all good
Frasier was really welcoming on arrival and changed our booking prior to arrival to a twin which was really great
Thank you

Kelly and Fraser make our stay at Admirals feel like a home away from home. So different to arriving at a property and letting yourself in with an electronic keypad. Thank you for your excellent personal service.

Apart from the fact that the furnishings were a little dated - for example, no air extraction fan in bathroom/laundry - the unit was fine and godd value.

The motel staff were amazing, so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Everything was lovely and clean, beds were very comfy. The kids especially enjoyed having the sports field right there to kick a ball around, and we could watch them from the balcony. Thanks very much, we'll be back 👍😄
