Great meal choice.
Very courteous and prompt service
Every detail seemed of meticulous attention.
Perfect entry and exit point to and from the Clare Valley
Apart from our excellent dining experience, one would imagine that the associated motel accommodation facilities are equally superb.
Definitely worthy of an excellent review

        I spent a couple of days here over the weekend. Great value for money, very clean and comfy rooms inside the pub. Quiet even when there's a function on. Continental breakfast in each room was great. The staff were absolutely lovely.
        I'd love to see a salad or a bit better menu but other than that you can't go past staying here whilst in the Clare Valley.

        Stunned by the rudeness of the staff. 100 people at a Fringe Show in the backyard and when we inquired about dinner at 8:10 the response was “are you kidding?!” As Clare Valley locals we were appalled to find a hospitality business speaking to anyone like this.

        Hi Kirsty . First up I must apologise to you if you were spoken to like that by a staff member . I am assuming this would have been the previous Saturday night to when you wrote your review as we did not have a Fringe show on the long weekend of the 12th March . We did have a very large audience that Saturday night (around 160 Ticketed people attended) and many of these had dined in the Hotel prior to the Show Commencing .A point I did note however was that you say you came in at 8.10 PM looking for a meal . Our Kitchen closes at 8 PM and it is critical in these current times that everyone must book especially on a Saturday night and especially under the Covid Restrictions to be assured of getting a meal . Whilst I am not condoning the way you say you were spoken to by a staff member I can understand their frustration that on such a busy night that someone has come in after our kitchen has closed with out a booking and expecting to be fed . You should not have been spoken to like that and I will take this matter up with my staff to ensure that Frustrations are kept in check despite how frustrated they might be when dealing with situations such as these . If you would like to discuss this further please do not hesitate to give the Hotel a call and ask for myself .

        The rooms are adjacent to the hotel and are on keeping with the age of the campus. Gardens lovely and there is a grassed area at the rear which is nice to chill out on. The room isn’t large and certainly doesn’t have all the mod cons but isn’t trying to be that way either.
