The choice of the town so far for accommodation.

Room was clean and good value. Good meals. Good service.

Noisy at times with pub right beside and can easily hear rooms beside you. Hot water was intermittent.

Pros:

The rooms were clean and beds are comfortable.

Cons:

Rooms are next to the outdoor beer area and pool table.
You could hear everything. It was hard to sleep.
I saying this, we did stay on a Saturday night, so it would have been one of their busier nights.

Pros:

In town and had a pub to get meals and drinks. Room was warm even when it was very cold outside.

Cons:

Hot water took a few minutes of running tap before warm enough to shower. Can easily hear adjacent rooms and people talking outside. Nice and quiet spot otherwise.

The location on the river in the pretty street was incredible. The room was comfortable and very clean and we were given ample towels and toiletries. The food in the hotel was very fresh, healthy and well cooked. The staff were lovely.

Average
Pros:

The bar and restaurant facilities, steak was good

Cons:

The smell in the room from stale carpet, the bathroom door was not properly hinged, the shower was spraying water everywhere I had to put the hand towel over the top of the shower head. It took a long time to get warm water, the main sliding door entrance flip lock was loose

Don't stay here, go anywhere else but here.
Pros:

The room was nice but basic good for 1 night.

Cons:

The restaurant was the worst 😫 5 meals, 2 meals sent back because cold. 1 of meals sent back came back burnt. Garlic bread came out after 4 meals came out. Waited half hour after all meals were finished for the 5 meal to come out. All 5 people ate at all different times, at 1 table. Very quite night, maybe 8 people in whole restaurant, from ordering to last meal eaten, around 2 and half hours. Only reason we got from the 2 Very young but lovely girls who were working was sorry we have a new chef and obviously it's not working out. These 2 young girls working were so nice and very sorry for what was happening . But they had no manager to help them sort the problems.

Only problem with room 12 was no smoke alarms at all, had wires coming ceiling. Thought it was against the law not to have working smoke alarms. Luckily for us there was no fire that night.

Comfy stay at a country pub
Pros:

More than happy with our stay ... comfy beds and quiet location.

Cons:

Shower rose in room 12 needs some attention as it leaks rather badly spraying water up the wall and onto the door.

Never again
Pros:

The only plus to this place was the location

Cons:

Firstly the beds were like bricks, when u rolled over the entire bed moved around on the floor!
no shower curtains or anything so water was in the walkway soaking everything!
An entire large window pane was missing in bathroom, and there were no screens so mozzies came in and we were eaten alive. The fact that it was missing also made us not feel secure, and we still had been charged $140 for a night and the room was like this!
I actually wish we had decided on the motel up the road, was the same price and looked much nicer!
