This is a beautiful property. Our suite was very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is adequately equipped and well set out. The only issue I can see is that the bedroom may get very hot in midsummer. Highly recommended and good value for money.
What a glorious building - perfect for a Pride and Prejudice romantic weekend. Renovations are delightful. Access to main staircase, library and verandahs a bonus. Loved our overnight stay….2 night minimum would be perfect to explore Parkes and enjoy these beautiful building.
Coming back here to stay feels like coming home for me, I could see myself living here. I love this home.. everything is very good.. the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.
This place is stunning and our overnight stay was wonderful with everything we could possibly want. Kitchen was lovely and big and room sizes were huge
The room was beautiful and very clean. It had everything we needed. The staff were so accommodating when we requested an early check in. We were very grateful and really enjoyed our stay.
Room very clean and well presented. Pool was great for a dip.
No mirror in room to check your outfit what you are wearing. No wardrobe to hang ironed clothes. TV didn’t work - no signal.
