A small friendly motel, comfy beds and clean Very wet outside for our stay. Given the muddy surrounds, an internal mat/ rack for mucky shoes would be good.

Last minute decision to stay overnight on my one day only road trip and a good decision. The room was nice and quiet, with a good shower stream and was clean. I drove in the dark, and it felt like in the middle of nowhere, but the motel had a pub, restaurant and bottle shop. I would stay again.

Nice quiet location. Value for money. Easy check in and parking at our door. Nice outdoor seating outside room. A tad dated in decor but clean, fresh and well equipped room. One minute walk to bistro, bar and gaming room Staff are just delightful over the entire venue. Thanks so much and we’ll definitely be back.

Cheap and cheerful accommodation. Comfortable bed and good shower. Too much light in room, no blind for small windows next to door. Confusing entry, no signage for where to park when trying to find reception. Excellent meals in restaurant.

Lovey pub

Lovely country pub vibes. FABULOUS meals and sports bar. Great vibes. Only negative would be the bed, rather old and rolled in the middle for 2 people not great. The front room light on the outside couldn’t be turned off and was on for most of the night. I had a sore back in the morning but that could just be me getting OLD. I would visit again despite my sleep but bring an eye mask. Thank you for my stay

Not easy to find where you book in. Dining in was reasonable but it was crowded and service was slow. Credit card use attracted a 1.2% extra if used.

Great but a too bright

great location with easy access to Eildon and surroundings, all was very good except the room's porch lighting which is on all night and shines into the room - so room is only semi dark. For me tough to sleep.

Really nice property and staff. The accommodation was clean, though a little dated. The bistro is excellent with a lot of food options, so very convenient for families and anyone stopping by or staying awhile.
