    Comfortable bed with good amenities in the room. Walking distance to Ratho Farm and The Castle Hotel, which was convenient for the wedding I was attending.

    The rear entrance of this property doesn’t do it justice but don’t let this put you off.

    This charming property has been well renovated but still holds its old world charm. Very comfortable bed and the included breakfast is simple but nice.

    All rooms upstairs with steep and narrow steps. Just something to keep in mind if you have heavy large luggage.

    Room clean. Beds comfy. This is an old building but maintained well. Such a historic feel to the place. Loved it. Free continental breakfast next morning that we were not expecting. You let yourself in with a code. We ate at the pub in town (walking distance) as Ratho farm had a function. Food was great and big serves. I ordered a soup for entree and could have swum in the bowl. Pub does shut meals early but that seems to be most of Tassie.

    The town was very interesting and am glad it was a detour I took because of lack of accommodation elsewhere. Hotel also has a very interesting history. Friendly staff. The local walking map was excellent.

    Not a brekkie person but enjoyed the toast & marmalade, room very comfortable and "homely". Nice little garden with apple trees. Was a most enjoyable stop on the way to Hobart, walked around the town and met some locals.

    That there was no evening meals available We also didn't like the lack of personal touch of someone to greet, check in and be available when there was any issues. Breakfast ran out before everyone had some

    Rather a long wait for dinner on the second night of our stay but we were entertained by an interesting talk about the homestead even though it was via a laptop.

    The way redundant farm buildings had been used to create lovely, comfortable, accommodation .

    I did not stay at the property - i was very disappointed on arrival - the rear yard was very messy and neglected - access to the property was via the rear door which had digital lock on it. The door assigned to me also had a digital lock on it but no additional internal lock for safety. There was also an additional door leading out to the rear of the property that was not closed, or locked, indicating anyone could access the property via the external stairs. The bathroom was terribly dirty, with used wet dirty washers sitting on the soap tray, the bathroom ceiling fan was caked in dirt / dust and the shampoo and soap dispensers were dirty along with a lot of mould in the shower. The large spider that also resided just above the shower was also an unwelcome find. There were spider webs throughout the room and windows and used sugar packets on bedside tables. Overall not a pleasant experience and as a solo female traveller I did not feel safe to stay.

    Not a lot - I did not stay in the property.

    The bare bulb in the bedroom. The room heater that had no instructions and overheated overnight, so it had to be turned off around 3 am. The windows were dirty. The cobwebs on the insides of the windows. The dead flies on the window sill of the staircase. There were no lights on in the place when we got back from dinner. The stairs are much too narrow for comfort or ease of use. There was not enough milk left in the downstairs fridge for breakfast coffees. I had to go and raid our room fridge for milk.

    Large room, very comfy bed. Great verandah.
