Always a comfy and convenient stay. Only feedback is the bathroom glass shelf above basin makes it difficult to wash face/rinse mouth etc and choice of tap makes it easy to splash water on floor.

Beautiful old pub with quality renovations. Fabulous dining room with lots of options and a great wine list. The bedrooms were on the small side but very comfortable and so nice to see a coffee machine. It was a very convenient stay on our trip to Melbourne. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
