Harborne Holidays from AU$4,004

I stayed for two nights at the end of may and the first thing I liked was easy access well sign posted parking. The house itself is directly opposite the old castle with its impressive mote complete with moorhens and ducks with their baby ducklings. The house itself is a curious mix of antique and modern but is fascinating to look at. From its old jukebox box, I should have asked if it worked, to the two triumph herald bonnet card holders on the reception table. Debbie, the owner has a small collection of old cars that she is happy to talk to you about if you have the time. She is welcoming and very helpful. Unfortunately she was awaiting hip surgery while I was there so breakfast wasn’t an option but the ‘olde Boote ‘ pub doesn’t a very nice inexpensive breakfast and they seem to know that you’ve come from Debbie’s and welcome you in like part of a community. The house itself creeks and all the floors are uneven so mobility may be a slight issue but if you’ve made it to the top of the stairs, it shouldn’t be.personally I found it convent that when I went to the loo in the night I was guided to the bathroom by the slope of the floor. Road noise can be a bit of an issue but during the night it’s quiet.ear plugs are provided in a bowl in the bathroom. All in all as somewhere to sleep while visiting the area I would recommend fitzwarine house and Debbie and her very helpful friend and the pub with Paul and Rachel being so helpful. Hope the op goes well Debbie

Arrived late to find a room extremely hot from being sealed up in hot weather. Too warm to sleep and only 1 window that could open. It was late so decided to shower in the morning but woke up to no hot water and within 5 minutes even the cold water had stopped. Could not shower or even flush the toilet. A guy turned up but did not apologise just joked about the lack of water. That is why they only got 1 star. Will be taking my issues up with the hotel directly as vitally unacceptable

I don’t need to write this.
