Was very satisfied with this venue to stay.
Pros:

Clean, comfy beds, price, bonus coffee in the morning. Staff were friendly and was quiet in the room.

Cons:

There was no hot water in the showers and I got in trouble of the missus the whole way home, now I don’t need to be getting roused on for 5 hrs because you guys had no hot water. How is that my fault.😂 This was the only slight issue but it did wake me up for the drive home.

Great location, friendly staff
Pros:

Amazing location and the pub itself is great. The staff were super friendly and shouted us a beer when check in was delayed. It was pretty quiet in the room too, considering the heaving pub downstairs.

Cons:

The bed was a little on the uncomfortable side.. and the cleaner walked in while we were lying in bed.

Pros:

Great location, very close to Newtown and Great price. Rooms were clean.

Cons:

The amenities were not very clean at all. Lots of empty body wash and shampoo bottles laying around. Bathrooms need a much needed deep clean.
