Gorgeous heritage building surrounded by grass and garden. Outsdide seating under large shady trees was a blessing on a hot day. The Continental breakfast in the heritage Dining Room was well presented and delicious.

This is a beautiful place to stay. We stayed here for 2 nights as a final destination after doing a road trip for 12 days. It was lovely just to sit on the verandah and relax with a book and a nice drink. The only thing i would probably say is that they kept the heating on in the hotel all day and night, i know this is a really big old hotel that may get cold in winter but it was so hot and stuffy. We had to have the air con going in our room all the time just to feel some coolness. But that was my only negatively about this great place.

It was lovely to finally have a stay in this beautiful heritage hotel. The rooms were modest in size. Very little room for suitcases. A hand rail for the shower over the spa bath would be helpful for limited mobility. The surface of the spa bath was a bit stained. There was no airconditioning which may be an issue in summer. No instructions for the wall mounted heater. The electric sockets for charging our phones were behind the bedside table near the floor which was difficult to access with reduced mobility. Had to disconnect the lamps to charge the phones. Consequently discovered that the wiring on the lamps had deteriorated, and the safety inspection for them was well out of date. The lamps were replaced the next day.

The hotel is wonderful with good service by all staff members. The location is excellent as it is walking distance to all the shops. The breakfast and entrees were lovely but the mains were disappointing. The duck was tough with inedible tough stringy greens. We found to our dismay a number of small bones in the brisket. We certainly would love to re-visit but not to dine.

Just loved stepping back in time at this heritage property. We stayed 4 nights in a premier room, bed was very comfy, the room well appointed and clean. Appreciated the breakfast inclusion. It was mid-winter chilly, but the hotel was very toasty. Secure parking was easy and the staff mostly helpful. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
