Kingswood Manor Motel
They called with my late arrival when I rang them to say I'd be there after hours. I used the hot plate and pot provided. It's not brand new or luxurious but is comfortable and spacious and I'll stay there again

Friendly and helpful, let us in as soon as she could. Clean and quiet because at the end of a cul de sac yet convenient for going places. The hob took some working out how to use! The bathroom and shower door arrangement tight!
