Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We stayed in the Toy room and yes you can hear movement above however it was a peaceful and quiet during night. Comfy beds easy self check in and beautiful building
Nice place to stay reflecting on the history of the building. A good nights sleep, very quiet location with parking out the front. Breakfast available complimentary was basic but enough: tea/coffee & milk plus toast / cereals provided. I'd stay here again for the beautiful peaceful location.
We enjoyed our stay and found the staff helpful, suggesting where we could secure our bicycles overnight in the bike cage. It was an interesting old building and I would have loved some more info on its history. The only down side was that the breakfast muesli was stale
We stayed in the Miners Cottage with a bathroom for 1 night.
It was very clean and quiet.
Good walking distance to shops restaurants etc.
I recommend The Priory as a convenient stopover or short stay.
We stayed in the Miners Room 1. It was really good, I’d stay there again. The bath tub under the shower is weird and probably doesn’t need to be there…
The wall between the 2 rooms is brick but sounds like it’s paper so hopefully your neighbours go to sleep the same time as you. The are only teaspoons available so if you take food and you need a knife or fork make sure to take them.
I’d definitely stay again though. For the price it’s comfortable.
Quirky place, not your typical motel/accommodation. Overall it was OK but lots of room for improvement.
We stayed in the miners cottage. Half the channels on the TV didn't work, the air con was temperamental, and the shower was like standing in a bucket with curtains. Also found it lacking with simple essentials such as plates and cutlery.

It’s fun staying in an old priory.
Clean and tidy but old.
Not run down although gardens tired
As a family with young we children we read Harry Potter a lot and we thought The Priory was Hogwarts as it had loads of character. Thanks for an amazing stay.
Great value, clean, fab location, and served it’s simple purpose. Shared bathrooms as we expected for the price.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Beautiful old building, host was lovely. Make sure you book a room with en-suite as the shared facilities are just… breakfast room could be lovely but it felt like a dark dungeon or a school camp kitchen. Should be listed as hostel style accommodation. Great location and cheap so if all you need is a bed it’s a great.
A beautiful quirky old building. Love the common area. Never saw our hosts. Would be great if there was secure / dry bike parking. Bathrooms are quite dated and could do with hooks / shelf within them for cloths.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
While the property was clean, the surrounds were under construction. Despite images depicting access to a television, there wasn't any in the room. They did offer WIFI which was at a decent speed.
My home away from home! I try and visit 2 - 3 times a year. Either solo or with my partner, I wouldn't stay anywhere else. The best location in town, yet just off the main drag and quiet. The Priory is a historic gem and a comfortable, friendly and generous place to stay.
The shared facilities are kept immaculate and are so numerous that you will feel like they are your own private bathrooms most of the time. The family and staff are wonderful and should be congratulated and thanked for maintaining this treasure of Beechworth!

Liked: Cleanliness
Very basic accommodation. Our room was tiny, without cupboard space, but okay for a single night stay. Shared bathrooms are clean and spacious, but would be frightfully cold in winter. The building, formerly a nun's convent and boarding school, has many curious features from a bygone era.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Nothing in particular. From past experience vowed never to stay in a tent now never to stay in priory. Didn't see a member of staff whole time
