Decent halt in Fairlie
All good apart from lack of power sockets in convenient places and very very slow wifi speed

Great stopover location!
Clean and convenient place to stay with all the amenities. Couldn't be happier with the place. Also...easiest check in and check out ever! Found the key in the door and left the key in the door. Doesn't get easier than that!

The staff were lovely, they reached out early in the day to let us know that the key would be in the room and we could just rock up. The rooms were spotlessly clean and there were lots of spare blankets and pillows.
My only gripe is that the water pressure was super weak - I struggled washing the shampoo out, but that's fairly minimal compared to all the pluses.
We'd stay here again with zero concerns, it's a great place.

Would be good to have a peeler and a small vegetable knife otherwise good. Possibly a microwave would be useful.
