Sue, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The accommodation was basic but clean. The staff were very friendly. Unfortunately the bed was extremely uncomfortable and our room was right on the main road. They provide earplugs for the room which was a red flag!

Linda, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Basic but clean but lacking things - like empty shower soap dispenser etc. Very noisy highway with no noise or temperature dampening in the building.
Francis R, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Great little spot right near the glow worm caves... Very nice room with one full wall of windows leading to a cozy balcony... Clean, bright, and very comfortable... Friendly staff and easy check in... Nice on-site restaurant... It is directly off the highway, so it's a bit noisy, but not terrible, just cars whooshing by frequently...

John, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The property needs a lot of maintenance, especially the driveway and parking areas. Huge potholes. It is not good for older people to have to walk up and down steep steps to be admitted and get a key.

Elizabeth, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great value and comfy with an old touch.

Was only for one night as I visited the Caves. I was given a mountain view room with a balcony which was nice. I ate in the restaurant and the food was lovely. The room was perfect, great hot water and pressure in the shower. If you are facing the road, you may experience traffic noise, but there are earplugs in your room.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice place and nice people

Decent enough accommodation, good facilities, easy to find and can park by your room. We had no problems with road noise. Bar area is nice and the food (evening meal) was freshly cooked and good quality. The staff were really nice and friendly.

The front office/restaurant needs a lot of work but the area where the rooms are was nice and rooms were clean
