Lovely stay.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Room cozy and clean. Food good too. Would recommend.
Great night at the inn.
Our room was at the back overlooking the beer garden. Was very quiet at the inn so no noise outside during evening.
Sliding door if ensuite entrance needs some serious lubrication.
Staff were super friendly and food was excellent
Bit disappointing. Emailed the property requesting a table the day before upon booking. Didn't get an answer and told we would have to eat in
the bar which on itself wasn't the end of the world. Then told there would be no breakfasts.
Just after finishing the main we asked for dessert and told too late. It would take seconds to put a slice of crumble in a dish. Especially as the chef was still there.
The milk in the room was three weeks out date. The food we did have was quite nice. But all in all the hospitality left a lot to be desired.
Loved staying here and will be back. Really friendly owner who made sure I was given all the information I needed. Really made to feel comfortable. I shared a twin room which was really tasteful, extremely clean and more than enough space for two of us. Highly recommend! Thanks for having us.

With the exception of Laura, who was excellent, the remainder was average at best.
The room wasn't clean, the bathroom sink and table with the kettle hadn't been cleaned since the last guest. I asked for more teabags and got a handful presented to me in a dirty hand.
The food was poorly cooked pub style, straight out the freezer. I was there a few nights and had a pizza delivered the last evening.
I wanted to like the place but couldn't

On checking into our room, we found there to be only 1 towel despite the booking being for 2 guests. On requesting another towel we were told that they would have to put 1 in the dryer & we could have it ‘later’
One of the pillow cases on the bed was soaking wet & the extra pillows had no pillow cases in them.
The toilet seat was not fixed to the toilet so was dangerous.
Many items were unavailable from the menu & breakfast was only served from 9am-10am.
On the whole a very disappointing stay which we will not be repeating.
Stunning countryside beauty. Boutique hotel with the most professional staff. The food for breakfast is rich in freshness. The staff is absolutely attentive to guest detail. Will book again anytime traveling on that part of the big island.
Had to stay 2 nights to attend a convention nearby. I booked this very last minute. The room was very comfortable and clean. bathroom was very clean too. Great breakfast. The garden in the back was a so quaint to sit in before breakfast.
Although I found out I paid a lot more than some other people attending the same convention who had booked through a different site.
Area lacked public transport.
Room was perfect, nice and warm on a wet windy night, full English breakfast was lovely butbut was an additional cost over the free continental but worth it,
Execellent value for money, a lovely place to stay
We stayed for 1 night with friends. The hotel, bar and restaurant has been done out in a lovely modern country decor as well as the rooms. The rooms aren't huge but ample for what you need. We had breakfast the following morning which was delicious. Great traditional English breakfast and lovely continental to choose from. Safe parking onsite.
All in all a good find and we would stay there again.
