Very spacious and comfortable room
Pros:

Lovely staff and room was great size with lovely view of mountains. Beds were extremely comfortable

Cons:

When having a shower the water isn't confined to the shower area as the shower is over the bath and the glass is only one panel, maybe installing a shower rail as well might be a good idea

Thoroughly enjoyable!
Pros:

For the Woodend Winter Festival the Brewhouse was ideally located, 5 or 10 minute walk to each venue.

Cons:

Toilet needed adjustment. It would flush, stop, then re-flish for 1 - 2 minutes. A waste of water.

How a pub stay should be! Very enjoyable
Pros:

Beautiful old charm building with clean rooms and great staff - the Pilsner was awesome!
Excellent step off for adventuring into Hanging Rock and surrounds.

Cons:

The wall mounted radiator heating was inadequate for the room size to take the chilly edge off.
The electric bed blankets more than made up for the shortfall - nice and toasty

Pros:

It was well located

Cons:

The room was very dusty. The windows screen was loose and banged in the wind all night keeping me awake. It would of been nice to have at least one comfortable chair to sit on.. Amenities are very basic.
