    Only one towel sorry. We were travelling as a couple.

    Asked to upgrade to a room with ensuite. I was very satisfied. Clean and alot of room. Had to leave my partners bag there for him to collect on his way back from work. Thanks for that.

    Bathroom facilities weren't the best sharing with all rooms but ok for the price

    Arrival was easy given a tour etc but we weren't told about the kitchen. Awesome little country pub and the food was yum

    too noisy due to the car passing on the road and other guests room, Every time they shut their doors, it made noise that could disturb other guests who wanted some rest,

    We were shown to our room through a private function in the bar - right through speeches for a 21st! Hilarious, if slightly awkward.

    I loved our stay. Clean, comfortable budget accommodation for us to rest our heads in on our journey. New carpet and possibly new bed?

    I felt that it was a bit pricey for what you got. A room to yourself but shared bathroom facilities. I have the same facilities in my next accommodation for half the price.

    The staff were welcoming and very helpful and the bar snack just hit the spot so did the cold beer. Had a lovely couple of hours in the bar and was made to feel quite welcome. Thankyou.

    Room was stuffy and warm (avoided easily by keeping the fan on low). The room is on the smaller side, but suited us well for one night. You could hear snoring easily through the walls. The hallway had a smell of old carpet (I could not smell this once we entered the room, so didn't mind).

    The room was tidy, had a plug-in fan and heater to suit your needs. Sink/counter area was useful. Bed was pretty comfortable! New carpet in the room and fresh paint. Window curtains were blackout, and helped greatly with a headache that came about. The windows have nets so we felt privacy even with the carpark outside. The carpark gate is locked overnight, you are given a key to access/unlock if needed. We were also able to view our car from our window which we liked.

    The night's stay was better than what we'd been told to expect of the area. No issues at all.

    We weren't sure if we were meant to close the gate to the carpark or not.

    Having the cereal choices for breakfast was an added bonus. The staff were very helpful, friendly and keen to provide the best service for our family group. The room was very clean and fresh and it was quiet.

    Nothing that we didn't like in particular, we were there for a short stay. The place served it's purpose for us.

    We only stayed one night, as came to Palmy for a family do and were expecting to get to the inn to sleep after midnight. We checked in at around 4pm to get the keys. The staff were friendly and helpful. The premises, even though dated, were clean and tidy. The room was also very tidy. It looked like the carpet was replaced not long ago, and the room did not have that dated smell as you would expect of an old place. The sink in the room was quite handy. The communal kitchen was also very clean. It felt like a place very well looked after.

    It's not that I would say we didn't like anything. But I would say the size and the way the room was arranged wasn't what we were expecting but for $90 a night you really can't complain about the room being a small side

    Cost: The price for the night was definitely affordable the location: I was quite happy with where it is located if you don't like being central this place is good as it's not in town but also isn't to far out of towns Staff: the stuff where very kind and helpful with check in/out and they were happy to answer or help with any questions we may have had druing our stay.
