What a fantastic, quaint place! Genuinely old, rather than retro, but very nice and quiet and comfy. Wifi is on the weak side, and there's no real kitchen Otherwise, great!!

Gorgeous little loft clean cozy we where so happy with this place . Wished we had found it earlier in our trip. So near the airport felt privileged to stay in such a historic building, nice renovation gave us lots of ideas for our future renos. Would go back in a minute. Owners have put a lot of thought into their guests' comfort Thankyou made our last day such a pleasure.

Cute

Cute place. Very little cottage (we we’re at the garden cottage) Cute design, I wasn’t very connected to the historical part.. for me it was just old and small. Very nice hosting, the communication via phone.

The hosts have thought of everything! Beautiful historical home, yet with all the mod cons. Best shower ever and the spa bath was wonderful after tiring days walking. Beds were comfy and plenty of extra blankets and portable heating to move about for those cold Tassie nights. Main heater was rather lpud n rattly but worked well to keep us snug n warm 🙂

The Sorell Barracks' Garden Shed which i stayed in for a night was well equipped, comfortable, secure and warm. The 4 poster double bed was charming. The TV reception was good. The heater worked. The kitchenette was well equipped. There was plenty of hot water for the shower. The front door key was in a key safe on the door, the code to which was txted to me on the day of arrival. I never did see or hear the owners / managers, which felt a bit odd, but I'm sure they were contactable had I needed to. I'd happily stay again, and can recommend the place to all who look for accommodation that is not absolutely stereotypical.

A quirky historic building needing some TLC

This was a great historic building which also contained a lovely garden. There was a small kitchenette and a separate sleeping area No actual contact was made with owners but messages sent through Hotels.com. The condition of the building needed work. I know it was an historic building but it needed decoration and maintenance. Windows would not open properly and some curtains kept falling down. Above all it needed a deep clean- the furnishings and carpets were dusty and dirty.

I was in a Loft Room witch was great had queen size bed & had great spacious areas to roam about in the room but unfortunetally the steps was steep & unsafe for people with bigger feet & had to go down sideways on the going downstairs trips & Im at tall person was hitting the ceiling from the angle of the heritage building was made also had to duck under the bathroom doorway & had to sit on the toilet most times but didnt mind the uniqueness of the building with the Telephone (Book Library) Booth & the Paintings & Cross Stitch work was hanging in the rooms was a nice touch to the place
