Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Rooms for the most part were comfortable and functional. Staff were friendly and more that happy to arrange for my late arrival. Those showers need some more work, however. At the very least the space needs to be enclosed so that the water does not spill into the rest of the bathroom (slipping hazard just waiting to happen) and some shelving needs to be added. Otherwise a solid 4 star experience.

We were there for 2 nights and it was exactly what we expected. Comfortable room. Dated decor but all you need. The bed was good/average but otherwise central to the Bowlo main pub in town for a meal. Has a pub attached to accomm also which did food.

A nice clean and spacious room. A nice spot outside to sit and enjoy a cup of tea. Ground floor units with car spot in front. The bed was comfortable. A great location near a hotel and bistro. Located just off the highway.
