Simple, very small rooms. But it has everything you would need, even a tea kettle. It was clean. We just needed a place to sleep and it was exactly that! We had a private bathroom. Only issue was finding the room in the dark but we eventually found it! Then the other issue was that the WiFi password has been on a piece of paper included with the key, for late check in the keys are put in a Dropbox inside a folded paper map of the area property. We didn’t realize that the WiFi info was inside this folded envelope, so the paper had dropped out of the envelope onto the ground. Thankfully we found that too so we could use the WiFi. It was very helpful to have Quentin answer our questions on the phone. Phew! All in all we had a good stay. Thank you for the stay.

An old work camp from the 1960s (?), now with a big commercial kitchen, lounge, & individual bedrooms, some with bunkbeds, others with a double bed. It serves its purpose, but definitely not posh!

Older style rooms but clean comfortable and had everything you need.
6 / 10Average·May 2026
It’s okay for the price, but the rooms could really use a proper cleaning. The place feels quite old, and while that’s not necessarily a problem, better upkeep would make a big difference. The staff are okay, and the kitchen is decent as well.
