The Avenue Motor Lodge is exactly what you’d expect at a modern motel. A cheerful welcome at reception and offer of some fresh milk. The room we had was clean and tidy, well presented, good size room with kitchen area and a separate bathroom - ours had a spa bath. It looked as though the room had been refurbished recently. The kitchen had a microwave and 2 ring hob plus enough equipment to cook a small meal. The room had a small balcony though no view. The only “complaints” are the lack of storage (just one drawer for two people) and a small fixed shower head over the bath that didn’t match the lovely water pressure and hot water that was available. Bearing in mind that these are two very minor inconveniences in an otherwise very good room, I would nonetheless be happy to stay here again.

Great spacious room, clean and tidy with everything we needed. Spacious bathroom with one of the best hot showers. Plenty of plugs to charge things up for travel, good washing machine and dryer available. Booked an extra night here to get ready for our big off road trip and was perfect. Staff are local and very friendly. We found it was very fairly prices as well. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.
