This was a lovely unusual location due to the historic buildings on site. However, they hadn't told us there was an indigenous music festival being held on the site, so we were subjected to loud music from our arrival at 4pm until midnight. The festival also meant they weren't able to feed us in the on site restaurant, which was disappointing. Wifi was so non-existent that we couldn't even access our roaming data.

It wasn’t quite as advertised. It was extremely remote and exposed, the wind was swirling so made for a restless night. The “licensed” restaurant was closing early and didn’t have any alcohol. The staff were lovely. The attractions were not exactly enough to make it somewhere to highly recommend.

Historic Hat Creek Ranch was an interesting stop but confusing . Is it a tourist destination or RV spot?. Nil privacy for RVs and as the water and electricity is shared with your neighbour the RVs needed to be uncomfortably close. Coupled with the visitors trying to see the horses in amongst the RVs was a strange experience. No wifi coverage and poor reception . Lovely staff.
