Check in is at the bar, the staff were really friendly and helpful. The rooms are recently renovated and well equipped. The location is perfect with everything in easy walk, which was appreciated after a long drive. The rooms were really quiet and comfortable. I will definitely stay here again.

Pros:

Nice clean room.

Cons:

The outdoor light out the back shining into room made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Room could do with curtains to assist blocking the light out.
