Excellent Stay Near Big Pit
lovely friesfriendly staffdecent prices
I visited after exploring Big Pit and found the loaded fries good, especially the beef brisket with peppercorn sauce. The ambiance was very cute, and the staff demonstrated friendliness. The restrooms were well kept, and I found the drink selection quite adequate.
The towel rail in my room remained cold, and the open-plan wardrobe had only one hanger available. I had to request additional hangers from the bar.

the heater in my room was loud. despite lowering the thermostat, it switched on during the night, disrupting my sleep. i also discovered the hot water wasn't sufficiently hot to allow a satisfying bath in the roll top.
