    delicious meals
    disruptive noise
    uncomfortable bed

    The meals were delicious and the staff were mostly friendly.

    Unfortunately, the noise from the pub was quite disruptive, especially on Saturday nights when live music kept going until early morning. It made it difficult to rest well after a day of skiing. the bed configuration was disappointing, as it consisted of two singles pushed together rather than a proper large double, creating an uncomfortable sleeping situation.

    sun terrace
    bed setup

    Clean rooms with great pub food and friendly staff. Kitchen facilities were handy and I loved hanging out on the sun terrace after a day out. Perfect spot right in the heart of Methven.

    The bed setup could be a bit better and maybe they could provide more towels.

    comfortable fries
    tasty chicken
    loud music
    uncomfortable bed
    outdated fittings

    The noise level was quite disruptive, especially with the loud bar music going on until late, making it hard for an early rise. The large double bed was merely two singles pushed together, which wasn't very comfortable. Shower fittings were outdated, and the common kitchen area felt neglected, lacking proper cleanliness and maintenance.
