“A comfortable warm place to stay.”
+A great place to stay, the beds were very comfortable and the rooms warm. The meals were delicious and good value but there was no red meat dishes on the menu e.g steak. There was a good variety of items in the continental breakfast and plenty of it. There was 5 different spreads, 2 types of bread, 4 cereals, muesli, porridge and fresh fruit, plus tea, coffee and milo/hot chocolate and muffins. It is easy to find and plenty of parking.
−The staff could have been friendlier, some were great but others shouldn't have been dealing with the public.

“We had a really fun stay in Blackball. The hosts were very friendly, helpful and always available. We will definitely be”
+The room was really big and had sliding doors on to a veranda with a table and chairs and a nice view onto the garden. They were also very accomodating with our dog which was great.
−The rooms aren’t ensuite but they are just down the hallway and were really clean. Lots of showers etc. so not a problem.

“The listing advertised that breakfast is included. You might call a bowl of cornflakes a breakfast, but sorry, I don’t.”
+Nice tidy room
−The listing advertised that breakfast is included. You might call a bowl of cornflakes a breakfast, but sorry, I don’t. Bit of a con.

“Loved this place, will be back here when I'm in the area”
+Great country atmosphere, friendly staff, great food
−The drain on one of the showers was slow and I feel I would've flooded the hallway if I had showered any longer than 5-6 minutes

“Comfortable stay where we were well looked after by our hosts”
+We had evening meal with a family group at the Inn and was thoroughly impressed by the presentation and standard of cooking - way beyond what might be expected at a country pub - certainly not deep fried chips and salad with everything. The Chef came to our table and went through menu options with us leaving us with clear impression our dining experience was important to them. Staff looked after us well- we had arrived just after they had been fully booked and were the only guests stopping on the particular night of our stay
−shared bathrooms and toilet facilities probably detract from seeing the Inn as a Romantic Getaway, however facilities were clean and comfortable - not a problem for us personally and was ideal accommodation for short term stay
