Woolpack Hotel

Came in for dinner, ordered 5 dishes, (two of which were dumplings) by the time my friend got back from ordering drinks at the bar the food was ready. Never had quicker service especially around dinner. Food was great as well. 10/10 would recommend.

Beautiful old hotel smack in the centre of town. Just so pretty from the outside and inside the pub is quite busy. We stayed here for three nights in the Flat. This is a massive flat. I cannot describe how big it is. It has 4 rooms. It is mostly refurbished, particularly the bedroom and kitchen (which is a full-sized kitchen with dining table etc. All crockery supplied etc but no tea and coffee. The bed was a bit lumpy for me but my husband did not think so and he can't stop talking about their pillows. The lounge and bedroom are full of light from the windows and doors which face the balcony. The lounge is massive on its own and you have two entries onto the balcony (which is shared) and is fully furnished with a magnificent outdoor couch and table. The lounge needs a paint job but and maybe some decoration. It's still great. Power points are enough. The bathroom is again massive, the toilet has its own cubicle and there is a spa. The shower works well. The actual tiles look like new, even though fashion may have changed. We did not use it. WiFi works well, but I had a bit of trouble with the password but the cleaner, who was a lovely, helpful woman, helped out with that. Service is impeccable and pub staff are all great. Meals are great in the pub and there are two areas where you can be seated. Note the pub area or the restaurant attached, Jumbucks, with an Asian and Australian menu. It's quite clear when booking that this is a pub and an old building. If noise bothers you, don't stay here. It was loud one night but it did not bother us. Parking - limited free parking behind the hotel, which is accessed via a little square of shops. We parked out the front and felt this was safer and risked being booked for it. We had no issues. Smokers: there were no signs for no smoking on the balcony - shut your door.

Stayed in room 4 - above the pokie room and the Tuesday night band night. Would not recommend unless endless pokie features and screaming are your thing. Anyway, huge room mostly wasted I suspect there are better choices than 4. Bed 1 chair and huge amount of unfilled space. it is clean and the bar food staff are very nice. Try another room it might be better.

Great location. Staff were very friendly at both the bar and in the Restaurant. Food was really good. We had the Caesar Salad with chicken, The Satay Chicken and Small Fried Rice. Only reason they only got a 3 star rating was because one of the tables was extremely noisy and made the whole experience unenjoyable. If you’re going to eat here and see a table reserved for a Susan Sutton, don’t bother eating in. The women in the group with their high pitched cat voices were noisier than the kids screaming. It was definitely way too noisy for me.
