A family run business with real attention to detail and warm welcome from the lead up to arriving, being shown round and out goodbye. …

Absolutely superb. Melvin was so welcoming and gave us a brilliant tour of the cars. The room was comfortable, (the bed very) clean and had everything needed. Love all of the decor and the Pitsop diner WOW. Melvin and Sindy have obviously put so much thought into how to make their guest feel at hom. A must stay if in the area.

I probably shouldn't write a review based a television show (Four In A Bed), but don't these people understand that by entering such a show, you are advertising for YOUR BUSINESS! By under-paying by 50% and 60% to other contestants is letting the hundreds of thousands people watching the show know that you are not nice people and why on earth would they want to stay there. By under-paying $50, $60 and $5, do you really think $115 was worth the potential thousands and thousands of dollars you would have lost by being unfair and nasty players? All for a plague that really means nothing, especially if you had to cheat to win it. Shame on you people......

I was passing so called in to view the cars. The garage was closed, but when I was seen looking the door was opened and I was invited in. Very chatty and friendly. Well worth calling in if you have an interest in Morgans.

What odious nasty people Sindy and Melvin are...I'm disgusted that people can stoop that low to win a tv show...nasty vile humans...with their out of touch satin sheets.

Honestly a little bit out of our the way, and a lot of people will say something is worth an extra drive, but In this case, it really is. It’s the best put together theme hotel that I’ll ever see and the value is amazing. Staff is exceptionally friendly and welcoming. You won’t regret it. 24 hour options, full kitchen, great pub down the street, everything you could want.
