UNDERWHELMED room and GRUBBY vibe
dated room grubby vibe
The location worked FINE for exploring the area.
The room felt pretty dated. I appreciate it's rural, but it felt a little grubby inside the room. Honestly, the whole experience just felt underwhelming.

Really good stay!
helpful staff special food car parking
The breakfast included many choices (i especially enjoyed the options). Staff were helpful and friendly, ready to cater to special food needs. Car parking was available, a VERY important feature.
i appreciate that this is a hotel off the beaten track, however the room was very dated.

dated room subpar cleanliness
the room looked quite dated. i found the cleanliness to be subpar. i think a deep cleaning would benefit the hotel greatly. it's a shame because the potential is definitely there, but i left feeling a little let down by these issues.
