Very enjoyable stay

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 21 Aug 2021
Stayed for a night in the Executive Mews Room. Very soft comfortable bed, lovely wood stove (got a bit hot in the night though) and good location. The bath could certainly do with having a coat of paint both to the exterior and interior.
Very friendly and helpful staff
We had dinner in the hotel and the food was delicious and plentiful --would love to have been able to fit in a dessert as they sounded very good.

      We stayed at the hotel for 1 night. Room was small but cosy and comfortable. Dinner was superb (oysters followed by lamb shanks/kangaroo steak) . Food was great and Ally and Mick's warm hospitality was exceptional. One thing is for sure- we will be back

      We had the back Mews room, in old stables adjacent to Hotel. Quiet room as it was away from from the road. The bedroom had a bed and low cabinet ( with Bar fridge and tea & coffee and continental breakfast provisions inside) and TV on the top. No room for chair or wardrobe; 4 hooks behind the door for hanging. The ensuite was large, but shower curtain too short so the floor gets very wet. Split level heating in bedroom and electric blanket was necessary and appreciated on this cold winter's night. Breakfast difficult to eat in your room in winter (in summer/autumn you could sit outside on verandah - 2 chairs and small table) . WIFI does not work in any of the Mews rooms; only in the Hotel. Staff were courteous. Hotel Front bar lounge - with open fire, very cosy on a winter's night. Rooms are not expensive, so for a 1 night stay, is OK.

      Last minute booking for 16 people for lunch was no trouble for the staff. We were located in a nice large dining room that was warm and inviting. Meals were great, reasonably priced and great local wine options. Well worth the visit and highly recommended.

      We checked into the Standard room this week. It took us some to gather our words to describe the state of the accommodation. Firstly, the corridor to our room was covered in very old carpet which was heavily soiled. As a consequence, the carpet perfumed the corridor with the smell of mixed tabacco, alcohol and wet dog. I had to hold my breath each time we walked to our room. The room was tiny and there was no door to the bathroom!!! Imagine staying at this place as a new couple or with a friend?!?!? We were expecting to be greeted by a lovely airy room as depicted in the photos though we realised that the photos referred to their premium rooms in the new establishment which is separate to the pub. I have stayed at many establishments worldwide and backpackers with multi occupants have better facilities that this room. The bed was terrible. Both my husband and I ended up with very sore backs and I barely slept both nights. My hiking mat would have been better than this mattress. Breakfast was also marketed as being included and this included two cereal swatches and two pieces of white bread and milk. This experience put a downer on our Clare Valley experience and we could not wait to leave. If we had the opportunity, we would have paid for an upgrade though their premium rooms were fully booked. Sadly, we cannot recommend the standard room, though you might have a better experience staying in the adjoining rooms. Although we paid $100 a night, a decent mattress and door for the bathroom would go a long way. The shower pressure and hot water supply was very good. I expected budget but this was far from budget.

      Gee don't you just love faceless coward people who don't have the courage to come up at the time and tell us their concerns but would rather grossly exergerate the issue that may concern them and then go to social media ? Yes we remember you . You told us that your husband was a Doctor and you wanted the best room . We told you that all the Superior Muse rooms were booked out but if you wanted the Executive Muse room that was available you could have that one but you were not prepared to pay the extra $60 .00 and expected us to give it to you at the same price as our hotel room . Are you truely serious ? Your accusations that the carpet was soiled etc etc etc is just total rubbish .We do not allow smoking or animals in the hotel and if there was an alcohol smell hello it is a hotel . I really doubt your husband is a doctor if you are back tracking and only ever want to stay in budget accomodation .Maybe he is a Witch doctor ?

      This was such an amazing meal to have. The menu has changed or upgraded. We had the risotto mushrooms, kangaroo with beetroot walnut and goats cheese we added a vegetable side. As you can see with the photos the presentation and flavours are amazing. You will enjoy
