    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at La Rochelle Motel. The room was clean and comfortable, featuring a kitchenette that was well stocked for easy meal preparation. The tranquil setting by the stream was delightful, perfect for relaxing with a morning coffee.

    Slightly distant from the main attractions.

    The second-floor unit had a small balcony with two chairs and a table, perfect for enjoying the sounds of the nearby stream. It felt secluded despite being near the main road, and the kitchenette was well-equipped for meal prep.

    Our stay in the wheelchair-accessible unit was hampered by limited space, which cramped our movements. The proximity to the street meant we couldn't keep the curtains open for natural light, and we found the need for grab handles in the shower a bit frustrating. there were issues with finding plugs for the bathtub and hand basin, which made some tasks a hassle.

    thoughtful touches
    withdrawn location

    The space was beautifully designed with thoughtful touches, and

    The hospitality we received was outstanding. We truly appreciated the owners' friendly demeanor and their recommendations, which enhanced our experience. The rooms are spacious, and the kitchenette functionality was a real plus for self-catering. Although it's slightly withdrawn from the main action, it made for a quieter night. a memorable stay!

    beautiful outdoor area
    convenient laundry facilities
    slightly warm room

    We had a lovely stay and enjoyed cooking on the gas BBQ while relaxing under the trees by the stream. There’s a great little area for unwinding outside and the laundry facilities were a lifesaver after days on the road. The only downside was that it could get a bit warm inside the room, but overall, it was a great spot to kick back! 😊

    spacious unit
    friendly managers
    long walks
    limited amenities
    few dining options

    Spacious and clean unit with a charming private outdoor patio overlooking a well-kept garden. The kitchenette was fully equipped, perfect for self-catering, and the managers were incredibly friendly and attentive. A short stroll to the town center and a variety of dining options, including a delightful café nearby. The peaceful ambiance, enhanced by the nearby stream, made for a relaxing stay. the walk to some attractions may be longer than expected and additional amenities could enhance the experience.
