- HHelen Philips29/04/2024Fantastic stay, home made food, fantastic serviceFantastic stay, home made food, fantastic serviceRosemary and Eric go the extra mile! Our stay was fantastic, our kids didn't want to leave. The food was all home made and hearty, the service from Michelle was fantastic. I think my two boys would have moved in with Michelle if she had let them! Nothing was too much trouble. Whilst the decor is dated, that is its charm. This is a historic hotel with character. The rooms were very clean and the beds comfortable. There is a free shuttle to Perisher and they have ski hire, a one stop shop!Rosemary and Eric go the extra mile!
