Our room was comfortable. It would have been good when checking in to be asked about booking for dinner. What spoilt our stay the most was the excessive noise from the hotel. The music finished at 11pm however patrons were shouting, yelling & screaming around our rooms till 1:20am!

What a lovely historic hotel. A great choice for a one night stay in Port Fairy. The room has a huge up to date bathroom which other than being a bit cold was a great modern feature. Very comfortable bed and we enjoyed a delicious meal in the pub.

Room had been nicely updated & was very clean & comfortable. Great value for money & well located, close to the shops. The downside is definitely the hot water service, which is extremely difficult to regulate & after running the hot water without any cold for approximately 5 mins in an attempt to get some hot water, it came through boiling hot very suddenly & scalded me.
