Kearsley Hotel reviews
4 Star Review by Andrew R
If you want a friendly vibe, this is your type of pub. Friendly welcoming staff, great warm fire in winter, and real decent pub grub - of course with the obligatory schnitty! Plenty of room to eat, but the fire is hard to move away from on the cold wet day we visited. If youre coming to Wine Country, the Kearsley is your first pub youll come across. So stop here, get grubbed up, and go visit. The Kearsley is a great start!
1 Star Review by Steve Coleman
I have stayed in over 1000 hotels and this was by far the worst. Only acceptable to the guests who passed out blind drunk. Noise until 3am and then from 5am. High windows without curtains and bright lights outside windows all night. 5 degrees outside no heating and an electric blanket that did not work. The room was bare eccept for a bed and old chair - not even a water glass. A single dirty shower that had to be shared by all guests.

Great pub! Very friendly staff, came here after karts nearby with a group of 20+ people and we had no issues. Food was excellent, service was especially great. Pretty casual lunch; person serving us behind the bar asked us where the group was from and had some friendly chats. Servings pretty generous too. Pretty keen to go back
