Avoid to stay on the weekend. There’s live band playing in the pub and you can’t sleep even with ear plugs

Nice character pub, friendly staff lacking in info a wee bit but they were pretty busy.. I did end up leaving at 2am though (luckily I was just passing thru and had that choice) surprisingly it wasn’t the general pub noise but a hellish unpredictable fridge/chiller/heat pump? (Some sort of motor) that kept me from getting any rest. Had a quick scroll to see it’s probably just that room? #3 What was the noise though? I’m in deep now.

convenient and clean

Pros: simple, clean, warm and comfy bed
Cons: you have shared facilities so if you need your own then dont go. facilities are good
if you want to crash the night in Methven this is an easy and nice option. Have a beer, a feed and a good nights sleep
