Great time in a new place. Above+Beyond expectation. Highly recommend if looking for a chill time ⭐
Pros:

Great location, excellent staff (special mention to Nic the manager who is ån extraordinary human - highly accommodating, genuine and professional - had lost/left several belongings behind which were not only located but also returned back via post c/o Nic.)
Welcoming venue with good people and an enjoyable vibe.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cons:

The closing time for a Saturday night was oddly early.
And myself and my friend were told there was nothing else open in the town. 😒🤷

Would not stay there again
Pros:

The price was good and location where I needed to be

Cons:

Not clean. Bathroom left in unusable state. Had to ask for Batman’s extra towels, toilet paper not restocked, one of the toilets had no paper. No mirrors at a realistic height to be able to apply my make up. coffee station, there was coffee and milk but no sugar, The water machine had no water in it and had not been filled. Whoever was in charge of stocking supplied had had neglected to do their job on a weekend

If you’re in need of a cheap bed for the night, this place is perfect. No luxuries.
Pros:

It was cheap

Cons:

Nowhere to access clean drinking water, the water cooler was empty and the bottles empty. The taps in the bathroom were only hot so had nowhere to get drinking water.
Cleanliness of bathroom was poor.

The accomodation was basic, but it was perfect for what we needed. I'd happily stay there again.
Pros:

The shower was amazing! The bed was comfortable, the room was very clean and we'll presented. Ben, the member of staff looking after us was totally awesome, very welcoming, helpful and cheerful.

Cons:

The room was very cold, however, a heater was supplied. There was no TV. So not much to complain about for the money.

Cute little pub!
Pros:

Perfect location.
Cute little pub, old style shared bathrooms and lounge room.

Cons:

They forgot to leave towels and I didn't notice until I woke in the morning. It was too early to ask anyone so I just improvised 🤣
