A bit disappointing.
Shower only had slightly warm water (but they said they’d get that looked at). Room didn’t have anything to sit on apart from the bed. I couldn’t check in until after 16:00. The cooked breakfast was very well prepared but a bit minimal and the buffet had very limited choice. At least the juice glasses were proper glasses and not thimbles like most places. The fruit was badly bashed and looked old.

Check in was easy, carpark small so we had to park elsewhere. The room was tiny, we booked a small double, not expecting it to be as small as it was especially for the price for 1 night. Only 2 channels worked on the tv,it was also tiny, about the size of a laptop screen. Room quite noisy, heard music about 10pm and alot if banging. Food in restaurant really good, breakfast also nice. Would not book a small double again if we came back. Staff all really nice.

Terrible Stay
Incredibly disappointed and upset with the quality of our room. We were sent to the townhouse across the street which was easy to find. The room itself needs MAJOR upgrading. The carpets look like they haven’t been cleaned, the bathrooms are tiny and need cleaning as well, there was only a tiny bed sheet separating us and the stained mattress. Not to mention we booked this room (1 bed and 1 bunk bed) so we could have more than 1 bed but since the bunk bed was shaking on the way up (and we are 2 young girls - not very big) we had to share the 1 bed. The mattress was also firm so we both got a few hours of sleep at best. Limited plugs as well.

It was a good location, small bathrooms and strange shower. We booked two rooms and they were very far apart which was inconvenient. Most of the staff were friendly but some were rude.

Booked this property at the last minute. The rooms were very spacious. The bed was comfortable. Our room overlooked the Main Street which was really cute. Parking was a little problem, but we worked it out. Breakfast was a great deal! There was a lot of noise from the bar below, but we used earplugs and it ended about 11pm. Would stay here again.

The property is ok. Nothing grand… but ok for a short trip. We stayed one night and the toilet didn’t work and the walls were paper thin. The staff was friendly, and the breakfast was great!
