Although a little in need of some updates, the room was spacious and comfortable. Roadside traffic was noticeable but not too distracting. Would stay here again.

I loved staying here, such a grand elegant house of a bygone era. Absolutely stay here if you love the Carrington in Katoomba. I was fortunate to have the place to myself for the two nights. Easy check in, more an Airbnb than a hotel really. Convenient location to Dubbo. I felt like a queen staying here and will very happily book again.

beautiful property with exquisite history. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt safe and very comfortable. Lots of dining options within 5 minutes drive. Lots to do on the property for kids. Nice, well stocked kitchen with cereal options for breakfast. Easy check in. We will definitely stay here again when visiting Dubbo

This property would be great if you went with family or friends as there are shared/communal facilities. We brought our toddler and dog along. The outside facilities are run down and the grass is long and not safe for the dog to explore. Not to mention to 3 pointed jacks everywhere too.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Love the old world charm. Rooms were big and well furnished, and while things were neat and linen was clean, the actual place could use a good scrub and airing as there was lots of dust and dampness. The free continental breakfast consisted of mostly-empty cereal jars and no milk. However, it was great for our one night stay, fitting all 6 of us in the master suite with (it's only one) adjoining room. We particularly enjoyed a family pool tournament!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is beautiful old homestead with very large rooms and great furnishings; even a tennis court and an enormous billiard table. The rooms are cool in hot weather and also quiet. It's a short drive into the centre of town but I wouldn't call it walkable. It's family friendly, so there will be other guests with noisy children in common areas, but that goes with properties of this kind. Staff are not on-site, but responded immediately to an inquiry when we arrived. Highly recommended.

A charming old house with comfortable beds and good quality linen. House much out of repair with cracks in walls and ceilings and a plumbing issue with leaky patch outside bathroom. Kitchen well equipped. Would be great for a big group stay.

There was no-one there to greet us when we arrived. The place looked derelict - as if no one had lived there for many years. The front verandah was partially torn up. There was a half-empty bottle of milk in the fridge which we were apparently supposed to help ourselves to for breakfast. We didn't even unpack the car before driving off.

It did not looked’cared for’ and was not overall very clean. You helped yourself to ‘breakfast’, we declined as nothing looked fresh. Lots could be done to this property and it would be wonderful. The shower was missing a panel so water went everywhere in he minuscule bathroom which was not an ensuite as expected.
