Very old, outdated, smelt old, bathroom definitely requires a revamp, pool was green. Beds were clean. All rooms could with a revamp & hopefully old smell would go. Very basic considering what I paid for the night.

Hi Kylie, the weekend you stayed was an Event Weekend with premium rates and unfortunately you could not receive our Loyalty Rates. We consistently adjust tariffs to ensure we are middle of the range with our near competitors. Your selected room was a Standard Family room with unrenovated bathroom. We suggest our Deluxe renovated rooms for guests requiring more modern facilities. Our pool (closed at this season) has light green tiles but the water quality is tested regularly by the Council accredited firm. Cheers, Steve

We are glad you you enjoyed the clean room. Unfortunately in the country areas we do have bugs flying at night but the window screens filter them. I will try to figure out which room you were in as it looks as though a lock needs replacing. Cheers, Steve at Reception
