One night stay for an event in town. Super friendly welcome, clean and cosy room, great value. We were on the top floor with lovely views. Our room was quite hot, even after opening a window, but this might be as the weather warmed up. Highly recommend.

The hotel was a good bolt hole for visiting family. It's a popular place with local people at times and staff are helpful and friendly. I was very happy with the room. Very well presented with fresh white bedding and a nice new bathroom. Wasnt sure what to expect on arrival, but our room was brilliant. Didnt want to leave such comfortable bed's. 😀

I have been travelling for 2 weeks and this is, by far, the best accommodations i have had. The room was very clean, well equipped and had a very comfortable bed. The bathroom and shower were awesome. The restaurant was good value. Breakfast was the best! Great server and excellent food to start your day. The guy at reception was friendly, clear on explaining the hotel amenities and helpful. Just an excellent experience there all around.

What a fantastic hotel, great food and good vibes throughout the hotel. A bonus was the Cullen Skink from the current World Champion that i took home, my wife and I can confirm that it was indeed worthy of the award.
