Peaceful and quiet and Methven Pools a delight, I would return to Methven Retreat as a solo traveler in summer as I enjo
Pros:

Clean and handy to town, value for money, well stocked pantry in the room if you wanted breakfast there, lovely friendly owner .

Cons:

Very very uncomfortable mattress in the second bedroom where I slept but my friend who had main unit bed was very comfortable. But heating in the unit bedroom ( main bedroom) was not a consistent heat and the room was cold unless sun was out. No mirror of any sort in second bedroom or rubbish tin either , simple fix though

Good value for money but want exactly what we expected.
Pros:

Good value for money and had good range of appliances in the kitchen

Cons:

It was very small so definitely couldn’t imagine having more than two-three people in here at once. It says this place is a tiny house but I feel like it’s more of a sleepout attached to a garage. We also had people banging around in the garage at 8-9 am which wasn’t pleasant to wake up to.
