Dear Guest, We have recently taken over the ownership from Rhett and Dina. While we were not the owners when you stayed, we are still pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Blakes Manor Self Contained Luxury Accommodation. Hopefully in the future you will have the opportunity to stay with us again, Peter & Georgia

Dear Guest, We are the new owners of Blakes Manor and while we were not owners during your stay, we still appreciate providing feedback on the property. The property is unique in Deloraine where it contains antique/old furniture and fittings. This is to complement the age of the accommodation, which in part dates back to the 1830s. This style has been adopted in the accommodation to allow guests to experience accommodation with a 'heritage' feel or that of bygone years. In relation to bedding, it is challenging for any accommodation provider to have bedding to fully suit all guests, as some guests prefer softer bedding compared to other which prefer firmer bedding. Notwithstanding this, when we replace the bedding in the future, we will consider less firm bedding to hopefully suit more of our guests. In relation to the leaking roof, thanks for letting is know and we will be investigating further to ensure that the leak is repaired. Thanks again for your valuable feedback. Peter & Georgia

Dear Guest, We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Blakes Manor Self Contained Luxury Accommodation.
