It was our second stay at the Victorian and it won’t be our last. The room we had was very spacious and most definitely ‘dog friendly’. Our bed was comfortable and the breakfast experience was very pleasant with good quality food. Staff were very attentive and helped enhance our stay.

We were received very well, feeling welcomed from the moment we entered at the front door. We were allocated to a big size room so our dog could be comfortable with us. Parking was easy; despite restricted spaces at the property, there was parking across the street, so technically we could see our car from there. The room was cozy and clean. The breakfast room and options were fantastic. We will be back!
