As far as pubs in Gosford go, this establishment would be the best choice available. It's quite…read morelarge and they have an extensive outdoor and indoor dining area. The food is better than the usual pub food quality but only by a little bit. This place is heavy on showcasing its sports coverage, primarily rugby or afl, so if you're down for that you'd fit right in here with the other bogans and husbands escaping their wives crowd that frequent this pub. I've been here a couple times for gatherings of large sizes as well as small trio lunch date, so they can cater for all occasions. It's quite clean inside and the pricing is a little above pub average for the food but the drinks are standard. I wouldn't choose this place a purpose for a night out or anything but for a quick drop in it fits the bill.

My 14 yr old was tapped on the back and a tall male staff member leaned over top of my son and told…read morehim to take his hoody off. My son was already feeling overwhelmed because it was fathers day and it was full. And he has an anxiety condition. My husband came back after ordering and the same staff member came back and asked him to take his hoody off again My husband said no. I explained that he has an anxiety condition. The staff member said why didn't I say that. He addressed my son not me! My husband heard him say "Jesus Christ" loudly as he went past. This was when my husband decided that was enough. We asked for a refund and left. Proper staff training sensible policies need to be implemented! The policy should be that you cannot order at the bar with your hoody on, and children should be exempt from the policy. I believe the purpose of the policy is for security reasons. There was no dress code on the website or at the entry going in. These things need to be rectified. Very disappointed, and we will not be back!

Only 20 minutes out of Sydney, Glenworth Valley makes for an excellent day trip to get you away…read morefrom the hustle and bustle of the city. An amazing property set in a deep valley on the Central Coast, Glenworth Valley offers everything from horse riding, kayaking, quad biking, even camping. I have only ever experienced the horse riding here which is great fun. For $75 you're taken out for two hours on one of the three trails. The best trail is the 'waterfall trail' which on a hot day you can jump off and take a dip in. If you're an experienced rider they will let you take off on your own, which is very rare. I like doing this if I am alone as I can set the pace I want to go at. It gets a bit trickier if you're stuck with a group of people and you're forced to go at a pace you don't want to but that is sort of luck of the draw. You can always rejoin the group if this happens. The horses are pretty stock standard riding school horses that come with riding school attitude and tricks. When you first arrive they try to put you with a horse that matches your riding level but honestly I think this is a bit of a farce - I once asked for a particular horse who they said wasn't out on that day, but then another lady rode him on my ride! I got over it in the end, but I wasn't pleased at the time. If you can try to book in advance on a quieter day - check they have no tour groups that day as you'll be in for a long wait and pretty boring ride.

Cannot fault the room in how clean and fresh it is. It would had been the perfect budget one night…read moreaccommodation for someone who just wants to sleep but just cannot easily get back home. And I was ironically made aware by a previous reviewer on Yelp that it can be noisy on a Saturday night but didn't know it would be this insane. Even for a sleep deprived heavy sleeper who quickly went to sleep on around 9pm around when the party started. It's just impossible to stay asleep during such loud beating music with a crowd constantly group chanting the lyrics loudly and going "wooh". If you're a party animal who goes to sleep late on a weekend, maybe this is a big plus for you. But for me who just needed a place away from home, to sleep on Saturday night. I do regret coming here as it's literally like trying to sleep in the middle of a loud concert blasting into your room. Why am Iam even paying for this? To be fair, the staff was quite polite and straightforward and the room does have air conditioning and also some of the softest (probably bamboo fabric) blankets. It's a relatively good quality comfortable room if you forget about the noise on the weekend. And I only stayed here for Saturday night so maybe it's not always like this during the weekdays, but I wouldn't know. If you want to sleep well and it's also Saturday night. Only come here if you're actually willing to tolerate a booming noisy atmosphere from 8pm to 2am. Which they also really ought to warn you about.

They have done a lovely refurb and the pub is now very trendy. They have a DJ on the weekend and…read morethe food is good.
