Very quiet at night and the breakfast was welcome. The kitchen could do with a tidy up and some more cutlery and other kitchen equipment.

Good value and the sauna fits 6 & is hot. This place hasn't been renovated in a long time but is cheap & cheerful. Quick walk to downtown Methven and the cafes & Irish bar.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Excellent value for money, very clean and comfortable.
Chris is the front office manager of the lodge. Her customer service is excellent.
I recommended they mention that not only do they have a nice hot tub; they also offered a sauna. And during the winter they provide a complementary breakfast.
The place is very safe, quiet and clean.
The room was very spacious. Very good heating system and hot water. Very central location.
Very lovely and helpful staff. Christine provided us some valuable information when we were in trouble during the trip. Very good experience during our stay. Will definitely stay with them again.
