    Daylesford is busy with tourists on winter weekends so a little too much road traffic for the balcony to be super relaxed and peaceful. Room is compact so despite great design u still need to be neat and organised. We wished for a few hooks somewhere. No coffee plunger provided so glad we brought our own.

    Location was great, accessible to almost everything by foot. Loved the wide shared balcony overlooking main street, great for a drink or a meal. For us the balcony and design were the x-factors that swayed us to choose this accomm and we weren't disappointed. Design of the room, decor and fittings were superb. I suspect they used sustainable materials too (eg bathroom tiles?) which, if true, gets a double bonus from us. Appreciated the efficient and easy check-in when we arrived and even easier check-out. Kitchenette facilities in the room were great; cleverly packed in a lot in the small space while keeping it all very easy on the eye. Ah the joy of thoughtful design! Simple but neat contintental breakfast. All facilities, incl. aircon and overhead fan worked well.

    For elderly people the stairs presented a challenge especially with luggage. There is limited parking but we were always able to get one.

    The location was outstanding. The staff were exceptional and the food of a very high standard.

    Slightly noisy in the morning as located on busy street with cars driving by. Night time is quiet.

    Newly renovated. Room has good size. Very good location on the street of central shops. A Coles close by to get some fruit or water.

    Excellent location with all the comforts I needed for an enjoyable stay.

    I found that there was some noise that carried up from the hotel's pub and gaming rooms, which were underneath my room. I always travel with earplugs which I used for sleeping, and was out for most of the day, but I would have liked a quieter room for relaxing in the evenings. Anyone wanting peace and quiet might like to check ahead regarding room location.

    The room had ample space. It was furnished and decorated in a modern style with subtle colour scheme. The bathroom was spacious, with a huge double shower. Everything was spotlessly clean. I stayed during winter and was kept warm and comfortable with the room heater and electric blanket.

    absolutely freezing in the bathroom, (yes it’s winter) but there was no strip heater, the floor was freezing, if you had a large block of ice in there overnight it would not have melted! we asked for an extra blanket for the other room which as next to the freezing bathroom and not serviced by the aircon and were told they would have to find one. We were provided with another bedspread(coverlet) and were told the room was like a sauna! hmmmm when a customer tell you they are cold then give them a blanket. We were told at that point too that there was electric blankets on the beds! I absolutely cooked during the night despite turning the aircon down to 25c because it was belting out in to the room I was in but wasn’t heating the room my friend was in. There was no microwave although there seemed to be utensils for food.

    great location, big room, breakfast box of cereal, muesli bar, popper juice and UHT milk provided which was good as hotel doesn’t do breakfast, plenty of cafes around that do. Very nice food in the restaurant, service was prompt.

    Nothing really.

    Easy check in. Right in the heart of Daylesord. Friendly staff. Lovely old heritage hotel, but renovated and modernised inside. Spotless room with a bonus breakfast pack included. We only stayed one night as were travelling further north so were not dressed for the cold. Restaurant staff directed us to a table in front of an open fire which we didn't move from. Had a really good vegetarian meal plus locally brewed beer on tap. Happy days!

    Room service…. They did not wash breakfast bowl or glasses, dirty towels were put back on the towel rail, the bed was not made, bins not emptied. The un even stair access to street are likely to cause someone an injury.

    The bathroom was great and balcony access good!

    bed too hard, and pillows too flat. Also the spa would have taken a long time to fill up and we abandoned it and took shower instead. Since this accommodation was making a point of advertising the spa, we thought it poor. The room was cold at times, and took a long time to warm up, especially as we spent some time in the day in the room.

    The staff were excellent and welcoming. The bistro was pleasant.

    The shower dripped all night and there were no towel rails to hang and dry the towels after use.

    The room was recently renovated and in a style that was both modern and also sympathetic to the age of the building. There was plenty of space in the room for luggage and table and chairs.

    We were in our Silver Wedding Anniversary, our daughter booked for us and specified that but we didn’t receive any words from the management and they didn’t even make the bed in the morning.

    Perfect position in a very nice town, room very clean and incredibly big, toilet and bathroom spotless

    As noted in other reviews, we knew it would be a bit noisy. On a Wednesday/Thursday night the rowdiness downstairs had toned down by about 2300, so not too bad. There is however a loud garbage truck round at 0600 that invariably woke us up.

    The location is excellent, just a stone's throw from the main district and the lake. The parking around the back is also useful. The spa bath in our room was also a nice addition. I liked the complimentary breakfast boxes, but you should take the short walk to Panchos instead.
