Location was very good. Close to shops, Walk along the river. Disappointing that the restaurant was closed but we ate at the Thai around the corner. Very good. We always find that the bed is too hot with a doona. Blankets are not as convenient but a lot more comfortable

It was disappointing that the bar and restaurant were closed and the lights from the car park to our rooms weren’t on it had a beautiful area outside but because the part lights weren’t on we were not able to sit outside at night and enjoy the garden and swing

6/10 Good

No reception, find your own room. Directions were poor, room is at the top of the external staircase. No mention of the fact that there are two external staircases. Easy to fix. Room was okay, very clean and quiet. Bathroom very small. The toast and cereal breakfast was good. Good fresh coffee from the easy to use machine. Good fruit and yogurt. On their website there are wonderful pictures of their bar. It is alluring. Looks really good and classy. Was looking forward to having a drink on the delightful adjoining garden terrace. Not only was the bar shut all through our Easter stay, it was locked away so we could not use the adjacent sitting rooms either. We were very disappointed. The website lies, that alluring bar is not available. If the reason was outside their control they could have texted us and offered a discount but nothing. The website says that you get a wonderful bar, you don’t, the website lies.

Unfortunately they had 'staffing issues', hence no reception welcome. A young lady tending bar directed me to read a message giving details to enter the room etc. Complimentary breakfast consisted of cereal, yogurt, juice, stale bread and croissants. Coffee machine was the only saving grace. As the restaurant was closed due to the staff issues, we had to dine elsewhere, returning at 8.30pm to find the bar and lounge area in closed and in darkness.

Lovely property but breakfast a bit disappointing- coffee machine broken which was only thing we wanted. Staff nice but bit inexperienced. No welcome area even though it’s a beautiful reception. Plus points were spa bath - great and properly is in great location. Try Cinnamon restaurant next door- fantastic

Gorgeous property with boutique accommodation, awesome service, afternoon cocktails and continental breakfast. It’s like a retreat in the middle of town. We had a queen room and it was roomy, huge tv, you can order a platter if you wanted too. Really loved staying here.
