We were pleasantly surprised with our family room, heaps of space, lovely view of the river and very soft and comfortable beds! We even had complimentary bottles of refrigerated water ☺️ . We were only stopping over for one night on a road trip but the time we spent there was very relaxing and comfortable 👍😁.

Overall this is a very run down property externally / photos are decieving . When showering water leaked out onto bathroom floor so stood on wet mat.The kitchette area was tiny just outside the bathroom. Room looked like it wasfreshly painted but rushed with paint on the bathroom windows and marks on the walls. It was very disappointing as l went by the reviews and ended up cancelling the next room booked at this property and rebooked elsewhere.

We arrived very late, the keys were left in a safe. We were provided a code for access. When the key card didn't work i had to call the owners and he was down in 5 minutes to assist and rectify the issue.

The room itself was clean and the bed was comfortable. The whole place needs some TLC, which usually doesn’t bother me if the room is OK. However, standing in reception on arrival, being ignored, while a craggy old man in his boxers deals with other business. Put some pants on for F sake!

All you need

The hotel was very well located, with a really good porch or outdoor seating area overlooking the river. It was quiet and restful, but close to shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed our stay. The building is dated, but the rooms and bathrooms have been updated, and it has all you need.
