Reviewed By paulapaullynch

We arrived late and had not booked anywhere and called into the Gables and they were ever so accommodating in finding us their last room left. The spa pool was the hottest best spa we have ever had in a motel before - and we had it all to ourselves. We got freshly baked cookies on arrival and our room was toasty warm, clean and comfortable.

Location of the motel was great, it was close to shops and places to eat. The room had all the amenities, the spa was a lovely bonus. Bed was comfortable. The only downside is that breakfast was not available due to covid, I did not notice this being mentioned online when I booked.
