The Gladstone

The Gladstone

8/10 Good
"Excellent location with restaurant on-site. Staff were friendly, helpful and rooms were incredibly clean and comfortable. Only negative was a room assurity which was more expensive than the room itself. Even though we didn't use it, this seemed pointless when billing details provided with booking. Apart from this, great spot to spend the night."

"Our cabin was clean & roomy. The queen bed & pillows were very comfy. They provided good quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand wash & body moisturiser. Plenty of empty cupboard space for our pantry goods & adequate wardrobe for our needs. Sofa couch could have been more comfy but was ok. Loved staying here & would definitely come back."
