Lovely old tudor style English Inn. Beautiful surroundings, lovely rooms. Friendly staff. Would be great if they supplied breakfast.. even toast and tea. (To keep in with the old english theme) Great that they supplied water, as tap water was not suitable for drinking. Even tho most people had cars...a shuttle bus down to the Historic site would have been fabulous....even @ $5 pp. Meals are quite expensive but so are other places in Tasmania.

Friendly and comfortable. The water is not drinkable and is brown. Bottled water is provided for free for drinking and brushing teeth, however, we did not want to have a shower in the brown water. Otherwise, lovely views and restaurant, and friendly staff.

Great Hotel and great customer services
Great place, close to the historic site. We we upgraded when we checked in. A nice gesture without us even asking. They also were very accommodating when we realised we booked the wrong checkin date. Great PR and customer service.

Loved the look/presentation of the hotel on a whole. Staff were great. Check-in/out was a breeze. Room was clean and well presented. Service at the bar/dining area was great. The meals we had were excellent (I would come back just for the Guinness pie). Had meals on both nights of our stay, trying different foods for each. All we tried were beautifully presented, cooked fresh and very tasty.

The room was neat and tidy, with an excellent view, but it could do with an upgrade. The addition of a table in the living area would have been very handy, along with more places to hang your towel (there was only one towel hook in the bathroom). The location is really handy for Port Arthur, and the staff were friendly. The food at the restaurant was also really good and affordable.

Perfect place for an overnight stay while visiting the Port Arthur heritage site. Staff were friendly on check in and again when we dined at the restaurant for dinner. Food was great too. Rooms are a little older but clean and comfortable.

Friendly helpful staff and very trad menu in keeping with the style of the property. A bit surprised about the need for bottled water but I get it, given the Tasman peninsula’s unique location.
