Staff were amazing and property was super clean. I couldn’t believe it was even serviced for the price we paid! Highly recommend this place. Obviously be aware that accommodation is at a pub though so it was a little noisy but it didn’t bother us and it wasn’t all night. Didn’t affect the kids sleeping!

Everything was good, but one thing that was not good was that when I opened the lid to use the kettle, it was so dirty that I couldn't use it. The moment I saw the dirty kettle, I felt so bad and wondered if other places were dirty too.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Just barely okay for a night

Imagine a hotel that was built when Bowling alleys were all the rage. It has that almost a castle theme but not quite. Then imagine you never update that room again. This is where you’d be staying for the night. It wasn’t “dirty” but nothing, ever, had been updated and it shows. Everything just looks worn, from the tiles to the quilts to the carpet. Perfectly fine if you need to stop o we for the night but you wouldn’t want to do it much longer.

If you want to sleep in stained sheets that won’t get changed the duration of your stay and listen to pub music until 9:30pm on weekdays and 11pm on weekends then this place is for you. No one answered reception phone the times I called. Had to go and buy toilet paper because we were given 1 roll for 6 nights. Bathroom was mouldy and the shower door didn’t close properly and flooded the bathroom. Only saving grace was that the bed was comfy.
