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.

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.

Lovely small hotel in beautiful Melbourne. Only disappointment was no breakfast served on a Monday and very little choice of a nowhere to eat on a Sunday night. The beauty of the stunning little town made up for it though.

Lovely room and bathroom. Didn't like that the TV had no channels loaded, no bottled water in room and no glass for tap water.
