Michelle was very welcoming. The roast was one of the best I've had! My room was cosy and had everything I needed. I would absolutely stay again if in town.

Cons:

Hearing my neighbour snoring. I found out in the morning they heard me snoring lol.

Welcoming, warm and comfortable.
Pros:

We arrived after a long tramp to be welcomed by John, one of the friendly owners, who showed us around and checked we had everything we needed. The room was perfect, simple and comfy, and we were too pooped to enjoy the garden but it looked like a gorgeous place for a coffee or a beer.

Cons:

We wished the bar was still open so we could have sat by the fire after our tramp, but that isn't a flaw of the hotel, just unlucky timing on our part!

Overall, a good stay!
Pros:

The room was cozy. Shared facilities were clean and if you feel uncomfortable walking through the bar, there is a back entrance that you can use once you complete the check in. Microwave, toaster and hot water is provided at the communal kitchen.

Cons:

The room walls were thin. As we had an early departure, our group of four had to check out in the wee hours of the morning. I guess my group generated some noise while moving our luggage to the back door, which caused some unhappiness amongst the other guests. Our bad.
