Love the old style pub and its history. Comfortable but showing its age, room was noise due to work being done on the block behind the building just outside our bath room window, but the bath room door was water damaged and could not be closed. Would stay again, there appears to be plans to do work on the build in 2024

Great location but the noise wasn't appreciated. Not the hotel's fault. Council decided to clean the footpaths from 6.30 pm till late and then the building next door was undergoing renovations and started pneumatic hammering at 7.00 am. Destroyed my intended restful sleep. Great staff and food was excellent value too.

This property was filthy and the aircon blew hot air into the room and was black with mold/dust. The tub was so bad I didn’t even ask them to clean the hair and bugs out as I would never use it!! Despite booking this room because it had a big bathtubs!! Do not recommend!!! Have pictures but don’t know how to post! Completely disgusting and rip off!!!

Join the party
We arrived late on a Saturday, no problem the pub was busy so found someone who came to check us in. The room was clean and nice to find somewhere with twin beds. We quickly realised they would be better off with double glazed windows as you can hear everyone outside along with the music so that first night it was gone 3am till we finally got some sleep but 0630 someone was using a vacuum or a blender and it went on for ages. The building is old and you can tell from pain peeling but it wasn’t an issue. The location was brilliant and if you are there to join in with the drinking brilliant. Overall it wasn’t a bad stay.

The hotel was older than I expected, but the room was exactly what I expected. All of the staff were friendly & EXTREMELY helpful. We also liked the location in the "rocks" area.
