My favourite accommodation between Horn and Thursday. The rooms are modern, clean and well stocked for breakfast goodies. Restaurant meals are great value for money.
Pub meals are huge and delicious.

Nice hotel with a great lazy pool. The accommodation is comfortable and clean, air-conditioned and with a TV. Shower worked quite well. They even give you food and drinks in the fridge, bread to cook for breakfast or cereal if you prefer. The meals were well cooked and reasonably priced.
