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 Consequently discovered that the wiring on the lamps had deteriorated, and the safety inspection for them was well out of date.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.

Had a meal in the restaurant with my wife,it was a two course meal for $75 each and we were very disappointed We both had very small portions with no vegetables only a small leaf of something and we both felt like more food. Don't mind the cost,but should have at least felt full. My advice , don't eat there.

Disliked: Room comfort
Charming, but badly in need of updates.
The good. This is a charming old hotel with creaky floors. There are many pleasant original features. The included buffet style breakfast was quite good. The bad. The hotel badly needs to be updated to meet modern standards. The mattresses on the beds in the room (a queen and single) were so soft, they were uncomfortable and I ended up with back pain. Then single bed sloped to one side. I've stayed in many properties in Australia and the USA in the last 12 months, and these were the least comfortable beds of all. I guess they would be ok for someone who liked a really soft bed. I had to run the hot water for over 4 minutes to get any warm water in the afternoon or evening. It was a little quicker in the morning (maybe they turned the boiler on), but the temperature varied during a shower. consequently a poor eco rating, because of such a waste of water. There were no usable power points near either bed, as they were taken up with lamps, with a lead running under the queen bed to the single bed lamp. There were no tissues in the room so we got some at the front desk. I paid for a room with mountain views. The east facing room had some views of the hills over a large flat roof, but no view of the famous Blue Mountains. The dated small flat screen television worked, but the remote control would not operate further than a metre away (possibly in need of new batteries). A few small updates, power points, comfortable beds, improved hot water would make such a difference
