The pool needs some TLC as it was very green and the poolside area isn't very inviting at all. One of the staff members was rude to us upon asking a question . Location is great and very central .

Unfortunately it rained heavily for 90% of the time we were here but the rooms were clean, staff were super friendly and the hotel was very nice. The library off reception has a log fire and there is a cozy comfort to the reception which I loved plus the smell of a log fire burning. They are also walking distance to the hunter valley village shops and gardens so easy to get to and really convenient too.

What fun this place is!…read more Located in the Hunter Valley along a country road - this 25 acre farm property is pretty cool. Run by Marie (Maureen?) our fantastic, hardworking hostess: these antique train carriages brought in from New Zealand proved to have a lot of personality. Each one is different and while the themes are a bit cheesy (Royal, Safari..), they're a real piece of history. each is equipped with proper bedroom, living room, toilets and full kitchen facilities (TVs, music, books to borrow, etc. too.) Some have a patio area -- some a small deck. there's even one you could really have a business retreat/meeting at. if you're not keen on the carriages, check out the guest house which sleeps 10 with it's two loft spaces. Enjoy a swim or a little tennis, or take a nice walk on the ground. located next to the bike rentals property, it would be great to rent a bike and find your way around hunter valley and 'home' to Krinklewood Cottages for a stay. highlights of our trip include a billion stars at night, two schnauzers and the pair of kangaroos we saw on our way back from dinner in town. if you're looking for something different, check out Krinklewood. :) Beware: there's no AC inside - though it cools down quick at night. Also: bugs! if you're a city slicker and/or not from Australia - this might not be the place for you. the ant are big. but outside only. bring mossie spray- just in case. Date of stay: 12/29-30/14

It also had a kitchen and lounge. It was clean and the staff were friendly when we checked in and out. It's also close to the main shops, cafes and restaurants in Toronto. My only complaint was that the 'double bed' was two single beds pushed together so it wasn't comfortable sleeping near the middle of the bed. I understand that hotels do this to have more flexibility for bookings, but when I book a double room I like a double/queen bed.

The balconies are spacious too and the room we got had two balconies; one accessible from the living area and one from the bedroom. The location is good too as it is close water and the Main Street. The only complain I had is that the bed comprises of two single beds joined together, so the middle section of the bed is uncomfortable to sleep on. Otherwise everything was fantastic.

Once again, it is part of a pub and they serve your standard pub/comfort food but bookings seem to be essential. we were there on a saturday night and and every table was booked. There is a tiny section available for walk-ins, but that was also full by 6pm Very quiet and great for the sunday morning sleep in we both needed after a 30th bday the night before. Would stay again.
