Liked: Amenities
Centrally located, room size generous, staff very friendly and helpful. Could not access the balcony which was disappointing. Could clearly hear people talking in the room next door. Will likely stay there again when next in the area
Comfortable and nicely renovated room, noisy given the position above the bar but very central location and friendly staff. Small enclosed car park out the back and walking distance to everything Daylesford has to offer.
An heritage pub with good accommodation. Some beautiful touches from the past (e.g., leadlight windows and chandeliers). We enjoyed the deluxe balcony rooms which had plenty of room, two seperate showers facing each other and access to a large balcony overlooking the street. The pub and dining area lacked good interior design and charming character. The exterior of the pub needed some TLC. Good value stay with easy access to main road (hence cafes, bakery, shops, galleries, etc.).

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Nice updated rooms, great being right over Main Street. Staff super friendly. Easiest checkout on the planet
A short stay but pleasant, very clean and comfortable. It’s right in the middle of town and easy walking to everything. Might be a bit tricky for an older person because of stairs. I’m old but thankfully still quite fit.
Lovely old pub . We had a gorgeous room with ensuite . Luxurious feel. Had dinner there was very good. Staff great.
Abit noisy for early sleepers but settled down after 12 . To be expected as it is a pub. Would recommend.
