Fantastic motel, great location, large rooms with everything you could need (including a kitchen sink) and most of all, some of the loveliest and kindest owners you could meet. They went out of their way to help my family and I when we were in an accommodation pickle and always have a smile on their faces. Cannot recommend more highly!
We chose this motel as we have a small dog. I didn't realize how pet friendly they are! Our cottage was entirely surrounded by fences along with a gate to keep our wee girl contained. It meant she was able to roam outside without running away. So good! Lovely owners too. Thanks so much we will definitely come back to stay.
Lovely setting. Very attentive operators. Good location for access to town. Off street parking. The only issue was that the mattresses were very tired with very little give. Could possibly be due for replacement? Otherwise perfect. Thank you Rodney and Rebecca.
I stayed at Cranford Cottages and Motel with my dog for an evening. The service was great, they even loaned me a phone charger when I discovered I hadn't brought one. The gated deck is fantastic for peace of mind when having to let your dog out. The room was spacious and the heatpump made it really warm. I was very impressed with the water pressure in the shower. I would recommend a stay here!
This is our go to place when visiting ChCh. The Cottages have all you need. Comfy beds and pillows, cooking facilities and a cute balcony to sit in in summer. Fantastic owners.
