Very good

Superb

Pros: Elisabeth is the star of the escape

Very good

Exceptional

Pros: This is a very small hotel (only 3 rooms) which only adds to its charm. Its location in the centre of Picton is an additional benefit as it is only a couple of minutes' walk from shops and nearby facilities.The old world style of decor ,the large rooms which are spotless and supremely comfortable has to be experienced. The restaurant is closed for evening meals , but the welcome touch of a wine and cheese plate is a unique touch. Breakfast is offered and sets you up for the day ahead. I would love to stay here again.

Cons: Absolutely nothing.

Perfect

Pros: Charming and extremely nice hotel manager, large comfortable rooms

Exceptional

Pros: Beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Welcome with wine and cheese. Beautiful balcony!

Exceptional

Very hospitable stay, lovely host, excellent dinner, very comfortable.

Pros: Location was excellent. Being upgraded to the upstairs suite was much appreciated. The ground floor room would have been disappointing.

Cons: Carparking was a bit inconvenient and slightly of concern re security.

Unique and luxurious

Pros: The greeting with wine and a personalised cheese platter was a lovely touch to the luxurious room. We were also upgraded due to us being on our honeymoon which was a lovely surprise and we thoroughly enjoyed the room. This is a unique spot with a different vibe only having three rooms in the hotel, making it more personable and special. The breakfast room service was well worth it as well.

Cons: The tv is very small and old so we tried to watch a movie and ended up turning it off. The rest of the room was lovely though so we weren't too bothered. It is also next to a busy pub so there is some evening noise, but this comes with the central location.

Very good

Pros: Very hospitable and welcoming staff member. She made the place. Very clean, gorgeous decor. Great bed.

Cons: Road noise with single glazed windows. Trucks started up every night at 3am outside windows. Also internal noise from reception downstairs.

A cute boutique hotel with a fantastic bathroom.

Pros: Great bathroom and overall very luxurious.

Cons: Nobody there to help with hotel functions.

easy

Pros: central location, quiet, nice crew

Done very well but needs a dining spot.

Pros: As lovely as it was it was all a bit awkward ! The girl who greeted and installed us was really lovely & helpful. There were meals advertised outside that are no longer in existence which we found quite weird actually . The detail to attention in our room was quite spectacular, in fact quite stunning.

Cons: Nothing - a meal would have been appreciated.

Stylish and quite luxurious.

Pros: The lovely renovation of rooms really invited you to enjoy.

Cons: Staff seemed to ba a little rushed at times.

Well appointed and great location old style charm

Pros: The restaurant was not open for breakfast but there were plenty of options in town. the room was well divided with a great bathroom.

Cons: need to check soap dispenser in the bathroom as was empty. As i left early was unable to let them know.

Superb

Pros: Great location, accommodating and friendly staff.

Cons: Door knocked by staff at 11.03am to remind me checkout was at 11.00am. Just as I was about to depart.

Overall it was quite a disappointing stay. If you are looking to go back to a time when an iPod in a Bose sound doc was

Pros: The location by the ferry terminal.

Cons: We are on a 50 days trip across 7 countries and this was our most expensive night, so as a hotel interior designer I was expecting a special experience. Generally the room felt as thought it had been designed in the early 2000s and hasnt moved with the times. On arrival (at night time) the windows were open with the lights on in the room meaning there were quite a few bugs in the room. Although the Formal Suite is a very large room, once youd removed the many decorative pillows from the bed there was no space on the three piece suite to sit. The chairs anyway were covered in throws and arm rest caps, clearly showing age as was the ottoman with rips in the top. Bed linens, towels and pillows were all way past their best and more reminiscent of a hostel rather than a boutique hotel. A bed topper would have added some comfort to the hard mattress. For a $500 room rate I would expect a mini fridge for the milk and some organisation of the tea/ coffee facilities would not go amiss. Also with such a high rate I would have thought breakfast would be included or at least a coffee machine in the room. The bathroom is also huge but the poor layout leaves only a small shower and vanity.

Superb

Cons: No refrigerator in room

Poor

Pros: lovely staff

Cons: Noisy room and uncomfortable bed
