Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is wonderfully located in the center of Daylesford, close to all activities, with plenty of off-street parking. The rooms are lovely with countryside views, a free-standing black bathtub, and a charming round bed. The staff could benefit from a touch of customer service training during their shifts. The dining experience, which is included in the rate, offers cold dishes served with toasted bread. Overall, the facilities are convenient, making for a pleasant stay.
The hotel offers stunning views over the surrounding countryside and features rooms with a huge spa bath and generously proportioned bathroom, although some blinds in the bathroom could offer more privacy. The customer service could benefit from additional training, particularly during shift changes, but they do provide housekeeping, welcome drink, and tours/ticket assistance. The location is excellent, situated right in the center of Daylesford close to shops, making it convenient for guests. The dining experience included in the rate was satisfactory but could improve by serving warmer dishes. The hotel facilities are well-maintained and add to the overall experience.
The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of Daylesford, close to great restaurants and everything you need. The rooms offer a luxurious black bathtub and spa bath but lacked some privacy with only blinds in the bathroom. The service could use some improvement with customer service training recommendations, but housekeeping was efficient and welcoming. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the included delicious vegetarian couscous. The facilities overall were top-notch.
