Great property to stay at if you like a vintage appeal. Restaurant downstairs is a must do if you stay there. Rooms were lovely and definitely gave a Victorian vibe. I think the mattress for the bed should be changed as the springs appeared to be shot. Host (Eileen) was great, and provided a nice history of the property. While there is train noise evident if you open the windows, I took that as part of the building's charm.

Lovely heritage house that has been maintained extremely well. Really felt like I was stepping back in time without compromising on cleanliness or comfort.

It was a 5 night stay during Christmas. The property is old and gets scary at night. There was no staff, the owner was available for limited things. No towels in room, pick any from bathroom. No instructions on where to keep used utensils or towels. Bins were not taken out throughout my stay. Lots of cockroaches almost everywhere. Continental breakfast is - Self prepared Toast, Tea, coffee, juice etc. No aircon, the fan was pretty useless. I had to place it right on my face to get some air. The price looks high if I compare it with actual hotels with shared bath and better services. I am not booking this property again.

Despite a few problems I really enjoyed the stay.
Easy to find using GPS. Easy to deal with owner. Good rundown on where things were,history etc. Bad point was the cockroaches. Pulled pillow up and big cockie. In the kitchen area put jug and toaster on and masses of young cockies run out. Good breakfast supplies. Some may complain about trains my only thoughts are how silly we sell our energy so cheap to 3rd world countries then we are asked not to rum AC etc. parking was tight and only on the street. Club about 700m around the corner with 3 restaurants. No AC but windows open and fans in each room. Be good when the verandah is replaced and you could sit out in the fresh air. Even a bottle of wine and port I assume available for guests to use?

Heritage building with really unique interior.we liked it as it wasn't your" run of the mill" stay. All the rooms were very different full of interesting items and decorations. Having an excellent restaurant down stairs was an added bonus. Eileen the host was welcoming and helpful. Great value for money.

The history of the building and all the antique furniture was beautiful. The bathroom and water pressure in shower was excellent. The 4 poster bed was gorgeous but not very comfortable. It was too soft. And the pull out sofa bed was very uncomfortable. I could feel all the metal framing. The breakfast options were adequate but they only had white bread which does not suit a gluten free or health conscious guest. The restaurant downstairs was superb.

Unique and heritage. No safe off street parking and too many stairs for those who have mobility issues. Grateful that they do allow pets. Better signage out front would help as I couldn't find a sign indicating it was the old victorian. Great restaurant on site.

I had to be in town for a big family wedding and decided to treat myself wiht a stay in the Alfred room. Eileen was great with check in, and showed me around and left me to my online meeting and to enjoy my stay. It's a lovely large room and I appreciated the little table and chairs by the window and the luxury of the big bathroom to myself to get ready. I ate at Dukes, and left for the wedding and it was a lovely stay.

Charming Old World Experience
Friendly welcome on arrival. Charming old world 1837 hotel B&B in East Maitland about 5 minutes from town centre. Comfy bed in large room with with plenty of space. 5 rooms and two large shared bathrooms with copious supplies of towels and hair and body care products. Basic self serve breakfast in shared sitting room. Not being a big fan of instant coffee, I would stay there again and take my own coffee plunger!

Didn’t like the fact we couldn’t get a table or at least room service from the restaurant despite having a room upstairs, instead we had to go across the road and come back and walk through the dining area to get to our room. We also were told we were the only people staying and then at 2am we had people roaming around upstairs, slamming doors and left the tap running in the bathroom. Overall very disappointing considering we got told we would be the only people there only to be woken by someone at 2am so not knowing if someone broke in etc was a little uncomfortable

The 2 nights we stayed was really lovely.. The building is old but that was its charm. We were made very welcome owner went out of her way to make our stay a memorable one. We vertully had the run of the top floor. It might not suit some people who want all modcons its old fashioned, large rooms, antiques, chandeliers if you are into that then this is a great place to go too. We will be back there in september.
