I booked The Coal Shed for a recent work trip and arrived around 4pm, but ended up leaving later that evening (around 10:30pm) as I didn’t feel comfortable staying overnight.
It appeared I was the only person on site, there were no staff or other guests around, and the room door couldn’t be bolted or securely locked from the inside. The fire exit door also looked quite flimsy, which made me feel uneasy as a solo female traveller.
The room itself was clean but more worn and scuffed than shown in the photos. With a few safety improvements and more visible on-site presence, it could be a nice place to stay, but unfortunately it just didn’t feel right for me on this occasion. I do think it would be great for groups.
