The cabin was everything we needed for our 1 night stay. Cereal was extra which we thought was a bit much. It would be a nice touch to have that included. Hungry Wombat Cafe next door is great. Burgers really fresh & great coffee

The room was very clean...the shower floor was slightly slippery most likely a slight build-up of soap. Every else in the room was good. The balcony outside our room had a few cobwebs but it was pleasant to sit there and watch the traffic. Staff were very nice and the meal was great. Would stay there again.

Comfortable & great value

I stayed in an upstairs room above the pub, with private bathroom. Comfortable, great value & the kitchenette facilities made self-catering easy. Friendly staff and a major supermarket a short walk/drive away. Would stay again for sure.
