Overnight stay.

We were on a motorcycle trip and were pretty wet and dirty! These rooms were perfect for our group and for the cost, we were happy. Hot showers and comfy beds were all we required. You are walking distance to everything in Gloucester from these rooms.

They are in the process of doing up the rooms so it wasn't perfect, but still comfortable. The pool area is nice. The staff went out the way to help with anything. A lovely quiet town which we used as a base to visit the Barrington tops national park.

We stayed the one night on the last day of a trip. We have stayed here before and will again in the future. Our room (No3) was upstairs and a good size. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was the best we had all trip. Everything inhouse was in working order and the fridge was generous size. Thank you to the staff.
