Loved this little gem, exceptionally clean, quaint and cute. Staff are adorable and this will be my place of accommodation when I visit Kempsey. Access to rooms are separate, so for those that may not like to go through the hotel, there is a separate entrance. Even though shared bathrooms, this was not an issue, extremely clean and great water pressure lol.

No complaints from me

Location (close to town, river, train station)

Was annoying that the pub's music (til late) can be clearly heard thru the floor; lighting in room a little dull...

Lovely country hotel. Room was away from the bar downstairs. It was small but very comfortable and clean. Complimentary toiletries were included. Kitchen area had tea/coffee, microwave available. Bistro had good food.

Pub air-conditioners were located nearby outside window, which were on the noisy side.

Friendly staff, the rooms obviously modernised, all extremely clean. Dinner at the bar was absolutely top notch - wagyu brisket on vegetables cooked perfectly. Thanks for having me.

Communal fridge might need a clean out but that's a marginal complaint at best.
