Gary was an excellent host and so knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast was delightful. The room we stayed in was a little small as was the bathroom. Shower gel is always more preferable to soap too. An enjoyable short stay and a lovely property. Thanks for your help Gary!

This is the best place to stay in Dover. Gary is welcoming and looks after your every need. He will even book your dinner in town as dining options are limited in Dover. The southern part of Tasmania is isolated and it is very interesting to explore. Gary prepares a wonderful cooked breakfast too. He even has homemade tomato sauce. This was our second visit and we will come back again.

Does not disappoint.
This was a wonderful surprise. We do not normally do B&B, but with the good reviews we thought we woud give it a try. Ashdowns did not disappoint. First communication after booking was a welcome, and to find out if we had any specific dietry requirements. On the day of our arrival, Gary sent an SMS to check our ETA and ask if he could book a restaurant for dinner for us. He was very welcoming on our arrival and detailed the features of the property. The following morning, the included cooked breakfast was fabulous. A wide choice and well cooked. Gary is a great host and easy to talk to. Overall a great stay.

Hello Jana, As discussed when you arrived, we apologised that our property and the room you chose to book did not live up to your expectations and was not what you were hoping for. It was made very clear to us at the time that what we offered was not what you wanted which is fine. We all have different tastes and expectations and we allowed you to cancel your reservation without any financial penalty. We thought we parted on mutually agreeable terms which is why we’re disappointed to see that you have rated your experience with Ashdowns a 1 out of 5 which seems a bit unfair considering you were on the property for less than 5 minutes and didn’t actually stay to experience all that we offer. To any potential guests considering making a booking with us and seeing this 1 out of 5 rating, we hope you will consider that our average rating on Wotif is an excellent 4.5 out of 5. We completely understand that if on arrival and prior to check-in, you think that Ashdowns of Dover does not meet your expectations; we will allow you to cancel without penalty, no hard feelings. We are in the service industry and our number one goal is to provide the best experience we possibly can for our guests so that no-one leaves disappointed. We trust you feel you can book with confidence.

Great stay.
The courtesy shown by our host Gary was absolutely first class. Before we arrived we received a text saying our room was ready was looking forward to our arrival. Upon arriving, Gary was accomodating polite and gave us an excellent introduction to his property and then made us tea and scones. The room was clean and comfortable and the property itself kept in an excellent condition. Gary has a wealth of information about the local area and it’s just a pleasure to have a yarn with him and he won’t lead you astray. His breakfasts are of a very generous serving.... you won’t go hungry and Gary has an extensive range of home made jams.(yum). The property is situated close to all amenities in Dover, so good for a stroll and the acreage itself is great with a boundary creek at the rear. I always ask myself would I stay here again if in the area. The answer.. Of course we would.

A perfect experience. A perfect B&B. Gary was a fantastic host who went above and beyond for us. The property is beautiful and peaceful, the bedroom pristine, the bed devine and the breakfast stunning! This is my second time at Ashdowns. It is a wonderful advertisement for the south of Tasmania and Tasmania as a whole. (The only gripe we had was that we didn't see a platypus in the brook but I can hardly hold Gary accountable for that ;o) I will recommend Ashdowns to my friends and colleagues. I can't recommend Ashdowns enough. We will return.
