Very old bar with hotel above. Old furnishings and very soft bed springs under a soft but new mattress Room just big enough to fit a queen bed: had to move luggage back to the car after unpacking a few things as there was no room for two to move around. Small bathroom at end of hall. It was clean and the owners seem to be working hard to do what they can with this old place, but still it is it is well below today’s hotel standards and it seems a losing battle. To call it a “backpacker hotel” would be generous. Dinner was good and several different good beers on tap in the bar.

A basic Continental breakfast was provided, variety of cereals, full and lite milk, orange juice. Wholemeal and white bread and raisin loaf. A good range of teas and instant coffee provided. The cereal bowls were tiny so restricted amount eaten, fruit or yoghurt not provided. Maybe a good idea to take your own?

Waterfall nearby was spectacular. Staff were very pleasant. They made our stay the more enjoyable. Rooms were warm in the freezing cold weather.
