10/10 Exceptional

I loved the quiet, the charm & character of the 1940s building, the collection of antique medical objets & historic local photos. It was cosy and a comfortable warmth thanks to the central radiator heating throughout. I was definitely not too hot in my room. Very clean & all the facilities that I needed - access to a large freezer & a bath was a welcome added bonus also. Lovely grounds. Very friendly, helpful & welcoming service from the manager Shontal.

Great accommodate, ecomonical, unique and spacious - never stayed in a nurses home before. Huge kitchen and lots of quiet lounge spaces. Handy to Dawsons and Reefton Hotel for meals. Reefton is worth staying a night or two.

8/10 Very Good

It was quirky because of the purpose it was built for but had all the facilities we expected, although it would have been nice to have single-sex bathrooms (lots of hot water though). Kitchen had everything we needed, room was comfortable and grounds were pretty. Very convenient for the town centre. Staff were very friendly and helpful especially the groundsman who sorted out a mix-up with our key.

A great blend of history and convenience. Comfy rooms, nice lounge and kitchen. Handy location.Good value for money. Some additional kitchen items like a coffee plunger would have been handy.

2/10 Poor

The property was clean & good for what you pay. Sarah was fantastic & was friendly & helpful. Chontelle (Manager?) on the other hand, wasn't. She stated that I should be more resilient travelling on my own & I shouldn't be fazed by the lack of women not staying there. And that most of the men worked for a good company & were respectful. Then said I was lucky she replied. I didnt feel lucky. NEWSFLASH some of the most abhorrent rapists & murders have been charming & respectful! Im not saying they were but the point is being respectful doesnt deter someone coming into your room at night or stealing your stuff. Locked doors & windows do. This appalling comment was made because I asked for a secure room for myself & my property & the room wasn't. I only discovered this when I was about to go to bed around 9pm. An appalling thing for a woman to say to another woman. Sarah showed more concern for my wellbeing than Chontelle did. I left in the middle of the night because if the Manager says this, it indicates a lack of concern for her women patrons & that made me feel unsafe. I asked for my money back, but again, the customer service was lacking. Expedia said because the booking was completed, it was out of their hands. It wasnt completed by me, I left during the early hours. NEVER AGAIN.

Rooms were very cold, no heating. You can hear everyone on the same floor which may it hard to sleep. Property is very run down, definitely would not stay here again.
