    I had a wonderful stay at a modern, self-contained apartment that was just a short walk from the beach and restaurants. The managers, Kay and Roger, were extremely helpful and accommodating. The apartment was well-appointed and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was cozy and I especially appreciated the double glazing that kept the room warm. I highly recommend Sumner Bay Motel for a fantastic experience.

    The location was perfect, right in the heart of the village. We loved being surrounded by great restaurants and having an amazing playground close by. The parking right outside the door was convenient, and our ground floor room even had a lockable little courtyard which was perfect for our 1-year-old. The hosts were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had a good stay. The room itself was beautiful, clean, and modern. The sofa bed was the best we've ever slept on, and the rooms were warm and cozy. The shower was amazing, and we appreciated the complimentary toiletries. We were truly impressed with the level of comfort and the quality of service provided at this hotel.

    This hotel is a hidden gem in the heart of a charming village. The location is fantastic, with cafes, shops, and the beach just a short walk away. The owners have done a fantastic job with the renovations, as the rooms are freshly renovated and beautifully appointed. From the well-thought-out amenities to the Netflix TV, everything has been taken care of. The value for money is outstanding, and the attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the hotel.

    There was nothing to complain about.

    Complimentary coffee and tea was a nice touch. Location was central and allowed easy access to nearby shops and restaurants. the bed was comfortable and offered a good night's sleep.

    The WiFi was a major disappointment as it was frustratingly slow and barely functional. the chairs were not comfortable and the table was inconvenient for eating.

    The room was equipped with an air conditioner and heating, perfect for the changing weather conditions. The location was great, with lots of restaurants and shops around. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed the view from our room.

    Our xmas stay was not as great as we expected. There were no Christmas decorations in the room or hotel, which left us feeling a bit down.

    The accommodation was spotless and well-equipped, perfect for a self-catering stay. I loved having access to Netflix and other apps on the TV, which gave me a wide range of films to choose from. The location of the motel was great, just a short walk to the beach and Sumner's amenities. Although there was some road noise, it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment. The owner, Roger, was always friendly and ready to assist. I highly recommend Sumner Bay Motel for a problem-free stay.
