Staff were great (the bottleshop guy checked me in).
The room was clean, basic & served our overnight stay purpose.
There's a pretty big plumbing issue in the carpark that needs investigating - hope you get it fixed soon!

Room was in a poor state. Missing shower tiles, cracks in walls and ceiling (some cracks filled with rolled up newspaper). I think a building inspector would close this place down.

Quiet location, dining at the pub was yummy, great menu, good prices, great service.
Hotel room - only provided soaps, no shampoo/conditioner. Window was blacked out so could only see outside if you opened the door.

The room was good and the meals at the hotel were very nice. Not much to do around the area and there was no wifi, it’s very limited in the area.
