Very nice for pub accommodation
Pros:

Room weas generous and well equipped

Cons:

Toilet window could not be shut and it was freezing. Room was VERY cold when we entered. It would have been nice if the staff could have turned the heaters on before we arrived.

It was okay for the price. Expected a little more although you get what you pay for I suppose
Pros:

Location was good. Handy having the supermarket right next door and being close to the bay

Cons:

The tower Heater only worked in the room for about half an hour and then didnt work for the rest of the night so it was freezing. Having the shower curtain makes it really hard to shower as with the ventilation it is constantly just blowing and sticking to you and you end up with water going everywhere.

Great location & lovely young people working thee.
Pros:

There wasn’t breakfast .
Easy access , parking

Cons:

No seniors meals available on weekends.A quiet lounge area with couches to have a drink inside as it was raining outside .
As the dining room was only for meals & l was directed to the bar with the sports & horse racing screens . Had to go to The Heads restaurant to have a quiet read & drink with cosy fire.
