    Pros +

    • As soon as we arrived we were met by the owner who was absolutely lovely. As soon as we walked into the room we felt right at home.The room was very clean, brand new renovated bathroom, comfy bed and comfy leather couch. One of the highlights was having NETFLIX! After a long day of exploring, was great to come home to!
    • Friendly Helpful staff. Short walk to main shopping centre. Room was spacious, well-maintained and perfect for my needs. There was a fish and chip shop across the road which served very nice food. Several other cafes and food options nearby.
    • Good location, comfortable room

    Cons -

    • The pricing was ridiculous even for a holiday weekend.
    • WiFi was slow, couldn't stream my subscription services without constant stop/start.
    • Had to ask for clean linen

    The room was clean and had everything we needed including a small kitchen. It was in perfect location close in the centre of town. We booked it just a few hours before arriving and the owner gave us a call to confirm and let us know how to check in which was very helpful.

    The room was clean and comfortable, basic accommodation but just what we needed for one night. A short walk to the RSL for dinner.

    Had to ask for clean linen

    10JessicaPosted on: 4-18-2025

    I have stayed here 3 times now and every time the room has been clean, safe and well maintained. Great stop off for my short breaks. The people who own it are lovely and always very warm and welcoming. Efficient check- in and the facilities are great.

    10LouisePosted on: 1-28-2025

    The room was spotless. large and very comfortable

    9VtoneloPosted on: 1-26-2025

    My rate of 5 stars takes into account this is a 3 stars hotel, so we must evaluate the hotel aligned with the expectations. The staff was very friendly and helpful, namely with excellent suggestions for the places to visit in the region. The rooms was ok for a short stay, no luxury but comfortable, quiet and clean. The location was very good because it was 5 minutes walk from the village center. So it can be considered a good option.

    All good according expectations.

    9PeterPosted on: 1-24-2025

    Location with views, spacious room, modern bathroom and kitchen

    Nothing really

    9WilliamPosted on: 1-20-2025

    Convenient position.Near many local cafes and restaurants. Very clean room

    8JustinePosted on: 1-20-2025

    Close to town, updated bathroom, comfy bed, Netflix free.

    Walls are very thin. Guests in room 13 had their tv loud until midnight and again at 7am the next morning. Very inconsiderate!

    Clean room comfortable ?️

    Poor quality coffee (that's all?)
