We stayed 3 nights in mid-January - Fri to Mon. Check-in process was simple at the bar. We were visiting relatives that live in Abermain and were eating with them over the weekend so we only needed a place to sleep and shower, but we decided to have dinner at the bistro on Friday night after we settled into our room. It was delicious. My husband ordered the Friday night mixed grill special (it was a very generous serving) and I ordered the rissoles. It was so good to taste traditional country rissoles that reminded me of my grandmother's and mum's cooking. We noticed that dishes going to other tables were generous servings too. Our room was surprisingly spacious (we were in Room 5) with bedside tables provided which have 2 decent size drawers that you could use to unpack your suitcase if you were staying more than just a couple of nights. Hanging space with coat hangers and other shelves was also in the room. They have a cute pull cord to turn the room light on in keeping with by-gone era. The bed was really comfortable and the housekeeping staff gladly swapped my pillow for one that was better suited to me. The bathrooms are clean, offering a single shower cubicle and a shower over bath option. Shower gel is provided and there was a hair dryer in the cupboard under the sink in the ladies bathroom.

It was unfortunate that staff thought it necessary to use a leaf blower in the beer garden before 8:30am on the Sunday morning. Our room overlooked the back section of the pub.

Comfy beds, beautiful, old pub, clean, wonderful owners and lovely on site cafe. Owners went out of their way to make us very happy. Awesome locals. Great stay. Highly recommend.

Nothing I can fault really….maybe the light in our room wasn’t working properly but they had just been closed down for weeks because of a fire. It was fixed as soon as it could be. It also opened back up and was in full swing while we were there.

The property is in the process of some updates on the outside……..the inside is warm inviting and comfortable. The beds were like sleeping in the comfort of my own bed at home.

The stairs………only because I have a knee injury that was being difficult the time that I stayed there. They do however add to the character of the place

Cosy room and perfect for a stay over in the Hunter Valley. Very friendly & relaxed welcome from the lady there. For the price, we were very happy and everything was nice and clean. Good selection of craft beers in the bar and the coffee shop downstairs in the morning was very nice, and the beer garden was lovely.

All good!

Great old pub that has been updated. Good rooms, aircon, TV, kitchen area and breakfast cafe downstairs. Make sure you stay here and not the Kearsley Hotel as that place is disgusting. We had to leave and luckily found this place which really nice.

Clean old pub that has had a good update to the rooms, nice bed, aircon and a breakfast cafe place great pub

Beautiful old pub, heaps of character and great food options for dinner, and breakfast.

Air conditioning in our large 5 bedder would have been nice as it was a hot night.

Excellent stay and great value for money! The beds were incredibly comfy and modern, and the 120 year old pub was very charming. Breakfast at the cafe downstairs was also great!

The Hotel was quant and clean. The shared kitchen could have more items for a quick breakfast and a sink and microwave.

Walking to the bathroom during the night

Lovely staff, spacious room with high ceiling and a comfy bed, very quiet environment with no artificial lights. Nice breakfast in the garden

Not much to hang clothes/towels to

The most comfortable bed I've experienced in a "Pub Room". Nicely renovated and quiet room.

Unfortunately, the pub didn't have their full range of brewed beers on tap. The one I tasted was very promising.
