Lovely stay

It was a beautiful old building very old fashioned with claw bath which was ok except for the hand shower over the bath very hard to handle so water went everywhere, that was the only downside. The view of the town was lovely. Breakfast ordinary but appreciated the wine and chocolate

Beautiful building - stunning room

Beautiful building - stunning room. My room was spacious, well appointed and breakfast supplies were generous. It was a simple process for access and my stay was peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely go again - my room had a fabulous view of Daylesford sunsets.

Quirky but not right for us,

We appreciated the generosity of our host & the quirky historical aspect of the building. However as an older couple, we found many factors difficult. Because we had suitcases (travelling for 3 weeks) space was a real challenge, not to mention getting the cases up the steep stairs. I’d imagined there’d be someone to assist & that we’d meet our host. The bath is definitely not for us. We decided we’re the wrong demographic to stay here.
