Great quiet spot and cheap mid week stay!
Pros:

Just an over night stop mid week.
We had it all to ourselves, very quiet.

Cons:

The bath room was a little small, but not the end of the world.

A peaceful and beautiful location for a restful retreat time.
Pros:

The location was great. We felt very secluded and peaceful, yet not far from anything. Close to restaurants and cafes, but a beautiful, peaceful location.

Cons:

Face washers would have been a good idea.
The coffee staples didn't have sugar or milk, had to chase those.

Basic
Pros:

Staff were friendly.

Cons:

Check in at the desk closed at 4pm. The walk to the room was far from the car park. The room was basic with a very small bathroom that had stained tiles in the shower. Water temperature in the shower was hard to adjust and the room decor was very clinical. I did not think that it was value for money given how much we paid for the night.

Wouldn’t recommend it due to thin walls - no privacy.
Pros:

Nice area and location

Cons:

Thin walls. Could hear people talking in next room easily. They watched tv until midnight.

Wouldn't stay again.
Pros:

Front desk staff so helpful. Great location but walls paper thin and noise echoes out of dining room and down corridor where rooms are.

Cons:

The bathroom tap wouldn't turn off and the shower kit cleaned properly. Late night noise from staff when they finished work was not appreciated.

Great money for value accommodation tucked away in a lovely part of the ranges.
Pros:

The location was perfect to proximity to an event we had on at another venue in the area. The price was great value. It's a no frills type accommodation and it had exactly what we needed for our weekend getaway. If you are looking for a good quality accommodation at a good value, then look no further.

Cons:

It's an older type accommodation and it has not got the current modern methods for keeping the cold out of the room of a night time, however, there is a in-room heater and split system heater that warm the room up nicely pretty quick. The main foyer and hallways of the accommodation have ducted heating, so it was comfortable.
