This is in a fabulous location and looks like it’s just been taken over. A bit run down but big rooms and lovely setting. Rooms have leaky basin. Cracked tiles and sorry but my pet hate. Hair in the shower drain. I liked it but needs a refresher.

All pretty good, little bit tired and worn in places but overall nice and quiet. We had enquired about disabled access and booked the family room as we had a wheel chair and walker. When we found two big sets of stairs on arrival we were very surprised. We did end up with much smaller rooms that had no full kitchen etc and still 5 steps to contend with but appreciated having somewhere to stay after our 3 hr drive. It would be good to update the info around disabled access and educate the staff too as this would be a real issue for some people. I managed to get everyone up and down each day but it felt dangerous!

Should have read the reviews first. Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere. Rooms- grubby. Cobwebs in the corners of the rooms stains in the walls and sink. Cleaners left a kitchen sponge for us to reuse and used cotton buds on the ground. Bathroom- Bathtub has clearly not been cleaned in a long time (see photos). Tiles lifted and one falling off the wall. Outside- Paths full of overgrown weeds.

The accommodation is in a desperate need to be ungraded with some fresh paint and maintenance. We booked as a big family and our booking through Wotif was fine but for the family that called and booked their room wasn’t there, was lucky there was another room available. No apology or anything from the man working at reception. We had a long hair hanging off the kettle and several hairs on and in the toilet. The shower head needs to be changed as it’s that old the water doesn’t come out properly. Bed was ok, pillows need to be replaced and furniture is very old and worn. The grass is that over grown with massive weeds it’s like a jungle out the back. Has to be hands down the worst accommodation we have ever stayed in.

We stayed 3 nights to attend a function close by. Staff were friendly. The hotel itself is a little old. The room was comfortable enough. The walkway from the carpark to the rooms smelled terrible every day. The property is away from any shops or cafes so you have to drive everywhere.
