Beautiful old building. Room served its purpose for an over night stay with a shared bathroom..The hotel was centrally located in the town.
We ate a lovely meal in in the restaurant in the evening and it was reasonably priced.
Staff were very attentive.
We had a continental breakfast in with the price.

The room was nice and compact. Beautiful historic hotel. The only fault was their laundry facilities. I wasted over $10 as the dryer would only go on for 5 minutes at a time.

Very old pub with lots of history. Brand new ensuite in the queen bedroom. No ceiling or pedestal fan in the room, and no flyscreen to open window unfortunately. Great dinner. Lovely old original historical decor.

Clean, but basic amenities in room, like no aircon or TV.
2 of 4 shared bathroom closed as "out of order"
Woke up during the night by drunken shouting outside the the hotel..
