Room was small, but as we were only staying 1 night perfectly adequate. Also very near a restaurant/bar, so could easily walk for a meal at night.

The room was tiny. You could hardly move around the small double bed. The manager was very abrupt (rude) when he knocked on the door at 10:04am to tell us to get out. There were no amenities such as shampoo etc. Poor value for money.

Hi It seems that you didn't have the pleasant experience that we wish our guests have. You had booked the Compact queen studio and the Queen sized (not small double) bed takes up a good part of the room area we will agree. In the shower we provide hair and body wash in the pump dispenser which cuts down on individual wasteful bottles of shampoo and soap. I'll check to see if the label is still on your dispenser for future reference. We pride ourselves on being courteous to our guests and it is our policy is that we remind guests that check-out time is at 10am if we haven't seen them surface up to this point. I don't feel the need to be rude in any of these occasions so I am a bit taken aback at your statement. We hope you had a pleasant onward journey.

Charming friendly and helpful manager Jonathan. Room was thoughtfully warmed up before our arrival and he provided very helpful info about local places to dine out. Spotlessly clean room - recommended.

Very helpful and friendly staff, very clean rooms, close to town and the restaurant next door was wonderful- best meals of our trip by far! Only hiccup, they need a clothes horse for washing to dry in our room as it rained overnight on the outdoor line, very minor. Wake up to kea calls all round, the best!

Hi, Thanks for the positive and useful feedback. We have had a family of Kea descend on the village and often can be seen playing around the village. We do have a clothes horse available to borrow, I will put a note in the laundry making sure future guests know if it's availability. Kindly Adam
