Pros:

I was actually very disappointed value for money wasn't there.
The pub is the oldest pub on the west coast and i was hoping to experience some local country in the bathroom but the night I stayed the bar was closed, nothing was mentioned about the dar of the pub being closed on certain days, very disappointing.

Cons:

The bar was closed , had i known it would be closed on certain days it would not have booked at all.

A characterful hotel in a pleasant small town.
Pros:

There’s no doubt the hotel has seen better days but this actually adds charm. The room was clean and cozy. Suzi and husband are accommodating. I booked the wrong date by accident but stayed on the intended night. Food was good although it’s very much a make it yourself breakfast! I’d stay again though.

Pros:

Clean and comfortable for a night. Friendly staff. They also serve dinner in the pub downstairs which was a bonus as we arrived late. Is not close close to amenities- is good for one night stay.

Cons:

Just remember this is a very old hotel! And it is budget with shared bathrooms. Good for a night stay.

Mit Auto eine top Alternative zu den Hotels an der Küste
Pros:

Super freundlich und zuvorkommend das Personal. Also die Chefin und hausherrin ist genau das, was man von einem echten Kiwi erwartet. Das Hitel ist im ältesten Pub der Westküste und ist altmodisch eingerichtet. Aber beste Duschen und auch mit vielen Steckdosen pro Zimmer ausgestattet.

Cons:

Nichts, ein einwandfreies hotel
