"Staff very accommodating "

"Nice room very clean staff pleasant but bar area in need of a bit of love snd attention. Breakfast very good but placement of things s bit odd. Why is the butter with the fresh fruit section and not by the toaster and bread and jams !? Also tea making area very congested and when busy you have to wait a very long time to access the hot water/ coffee machine. "

"I have stayed many times and always found it adequate and comfortable. The only slight negative feedback I felt this time was it was messy as you came through the doors into the hotel. There always seemed to be rubbish on the floor "

"Comfortable room and excellent supper in the restaurant. There were 2 of us with bikes and very kindly were allowed to store them overnight in the hotel. Excellent stopover if completing the Wolf Way bike trail. "

"Nice hotel which suited a need for a simple bed for night. However the staff were over and above for service. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again. "

"It's too bad there isn't an air conditioner or a small cooler in the room. A small refrigerator could be added to have cold drinks."
