We checked in after 5pm but was showered and sitting in the beer garden within 20 min and had dinner shortly thereafter.
Great venue and comfortable rooms.
We'll be going back in a few weeks to do it again.

Friendly staff. Rooms were clean albeit slightly dated. Good for a short stay whilst doing some long distance travelling.
Good to have the restaurant and bar next to the accommodation- lots of choices.
