Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our room was in the annex across the road. The room was well presented although a bit on the small side. The bed was comfortable. The walls in these units are paper thin so there was a fair amount of noise. Breakfast was in the main building and delicious. All cooked to order, so took a little longer, but they have an extensive breakfast menu which was really good.

Generally all ok, food was excellent, room was clean and staff very friendly and helpful. The main public area of the pub is just a little tired in places and could do with a bit of a facelift

First time stopping in Melbourne, we were given a cottage room over the road from the pub, it had a lovely little kitchen area which was a bonus with a large fridge freezer, the room was cosy and well furnished, and even had a small courtyard out from the back door, a great spot for breakfast

Expensive but good.

Quite expensive considering the size of the room and breakfast not included. That said, bed and pillows super comfortable. We ate a late afternoon three course meal and breakfast the following day which were both excellent.

Harpur’s of Melbourne

Lovely premier room with bath, shower, sofa and really comfy large bed! Breakfast in the restaurant was really nice and they offered a complementary drink. They also refunded the money we paid for parking in their car park. We didn’t know how this worked beforehand.

Liked: Staff & service

Poor for the money paid

Stayed in one of the rooms across the street from the main hotel. Room was very tight for space, small flatscreen tv on the wall was just in the way, bathroom tiny, toilet seat didn’t fit and moved when sat on, toilet roll rough and cheap, no toilet brush, carpet dirty and in need of a wash, bedside light not working, unable to open up electric window blind to allow light in. This room cost £120 for the night without breakfast. For the price and location, I feel they should charge no more than £70. Only real positive was the bar and patio area. So disappointing.

Central location, good food. We stayed in a studio that had quite a large kitchen but unlikely to be used since there was no table and chairs to be able to eat. Lovely barhroon
