Scotia accommodation from AU$195

Walking path along the Eel River nearby.

We had a great stay at this charming, historical lodge! The history page at the beginning of the binder in each guest room was great and informative, we really enjoyed that as an introduction to the place and surrounding area. This was part of a longer roadtrip along the west coast, and we ended up getting there around 10pm after stopping at more beaches than expected, but the lovely front desk lady called at 8pm and let us know that staff would be leaving overnight but that she had set us up for late check-in (key was in a lock box, full instructions sent for entry etc., very thorough and helpful). This made for a stress free travel experience and was very appreciated! As for cleanliness, they have done a quality job with refurbishing, everything was spotless and worked well. The sink's water runs quite close to the edge of the sink- maybe harder to wash up for those with huge hands- but being that that is our only complaint, you can tell the place is pretty great! The freebies in the fridge (juice, chocolates) and complimentary spirits were also nice to walk in to. I wish we had had the opportunity to explore more of the building itself, because the ballroom area looked exquisite! A couple other random things worth noting: great water pressure, HUGE bathroom, comfy bed, and TONS of plugs! I didn't expect that last part being that it's such an old building, so I have to give credit where its due! I'm pretty sure one of them even had a euro plug built in. We'll be back!

Staff were nice and friendly
