A great location, so close to the river with river views and easy walking distance to walking trails and shops. The rooms were clean, smelt fresh and felt safe. I think the pool may need attending to but this may come closer to Summer. Would definitely stay again!

The location and views from the top floor are fantastic. The facilities are a bit dated and lacking I.e. no microwave or wine glasses. Owners seem keen to improve so should be better in due course.

The location is just perfect. We stayed in a room without river view and the room was outdated. However, the room was clean and comfortable, with everything that we needed. We had an opportunity to see the river view rooms and they are really nice and updated. We are planning another family trip and this time we will book the river view room. The owners are lovely and friendly. Overall, we are very happy with our stay. Thank you!

Staff were super friendly. Our room was a ground level & it was quiet, clean & comfortable. Lovely view out to the river. The motel overall is showing signs of its age, but we were happy with our stay. Lovely walk along the riverside into town (not too far, but far enough that you're away from the crowds). Rates are a bit steep, but Bright is super popular & so it's to be expected given the demand.

Very comfortable and spacious room. We had a choice of sitting on a sofa or at a table, plus an outdoor table and chairs was available (too cold and wet for us to use). The bed was good and an electric blanket much appreciated. The kitchen/bathroom area could use an update, although well supplied, the crockery, cutlery, kettle and toaster were in the main room but the fridge, microwave and washing up were in a separate alcove. I would recommend this motel, the manager was friendly and it is in a good location.
