4/10

Whilst the units were in a quiet garden setting, the unit we stayed in was not good. We had 3 adults sleeping in one room, including a shabby, tiny kitchenette. To watch TV we had to sit on the beds. After sleeping the night the walls, etc were covered in condensation - no fan or heatpump to use. The bathroom had a wetfloor shower which caused the whole room to be drenched in water everywhere. There were no towel rails, no fan or ventilation apart from a tiny window. No shelves or working area. It wasn't nice. Overall we were totally disappointed in our stay. The only plus was it was clean.

A poor experience. Good sized unit but with a very small bathroom in need of maintenance and upgrade - shower curtain arrangement. Bed was comfortable and sheets were clean but food crumbs on bench and hairs in the hand basin not a good look! Overall very tired!!

Like this property. The rooms are big and very comfortable. The only thing we were disappointed about was because it being Christmas Day on our first morning our room was not serviced and we had no dry towels or clean washcloths on our 2nd morning. We understand the holiday problem but fresh towels could have been left for us. Other than that all was good and would stay again.

QUIET AND CONVENIENT FOR A NIGHT STAY. IN SNELLS BEACH

We loved this quaint british-style pub and hotel. Its a bit old school but that definintely adds to the charm. The nearby sculture garden is also a fun stop worth the time, as it feels pretty unique to wander through the primordial forest looking at scultures planted around...

What l like is already mentioned in the boxes above but just one thing I didn't like about the room we were in, no fan or ventilation system in the shower to get rid of the steam and clear the mirror. Otherwise everything else is great 👍☺️
