Disliked: Amenities
The room was not the one in the picture but that was not the issue the whole place was freezing cold including the kitchen and tv area so unusable it took 3 hours to get my room to above freezing and lucky I had extra blankets as the heater only took the chill off . The bench oven needs a clean it stunk with rancid fat. Probably a lovely place to stay in summer or winter when the whole heating system is working but not this time of the year . Off my stop over list

Good Option for a Night or Two

Booked a cabin with kitchenette and bathroom. It was as shown on the website and described by others - very small but fine for an overnight stay and reflected in the price paid. The location is excellent, easy to walk around the town from there. The cabin was at the back of the property so no road noise overnight. We booked a hot tub but that was a very disappointing experience - the water was warm not hot and describing them as part of a day spa oversells what you get in reality - outdoor, some screening but a path used by guests right beside it and able to see in. Not recommended. Great onsite restaurant, enjoyed a couple of small plates there.

Dirty and loud

We stayed in a room with a private bathroom. Room was not clean - shelving was dusty, carpet had hair balls and dust, bathroom sink and shower drains were blocked and water drained slowly. Walls were very thin, could hear other guests very clearly, as well as conversations on the roadside (we were right next to the main road. The entrance way for guests smelled of propane gas which was quite unpleasant. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Pros and Cons - clean and convenient

Clean, tidy and comfortable enough for a short stay, and very convenient to everything. However at the price I would expect the ensuite room to have its own fridge, jug and tea & coffee, but it did not have any of these. These were available in the shared access kitchen, dining, lounge area, but a single refrigerator for many rooms & people is never going to work well. As the place also has hostel / backpacker style shared accommodation, you can’t leave your own milk, bread, butter, or drinks in a shared fridge or cupboard and expect them to be left unused by others.

It was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly. However, the water pressure in the bathroom is too weak. Other than that, it was very amazing.
