This was a great historic building which also contained a lovely garden. There was a small kitchenette and a separate sleeping area No actual contact was made with owners but messages sent through Hotels.com. The condition of the building needed work. I know it was an historic building but it needed decoration and maintenance. Windows would not open properly and some curtains kept falling down. Above all it needed a deep clean- the furnishings and carpets were dusty and dirty.

The Sorell Barracks' Garden Shed which i stayed in for a night was well equipped, comfortable, secure and warm. The 4 poster double bed was charming. The TV reception was good. The heater worked. The kitchenette was well equipped. There was plenty of hot water for the shower. The front door key was in a key safe on the door, the code to which was txted to me on the day of arrival. I never did see or hear the owners / managers, which felt a bit odd, but I'm sure they were contactable had I needed to. I'd happily stay again, and can recommend the place to all who look for accommodation that is not absolutely stereotypical.

A unique historic property which had all the modern comforts. I was given a free upgrade which was much appreciated. The breakfast provisions were VERY generous, catering to different tastes. The steep staircase could present a problem but I was made aware of it before I agreed to the upgrade.

The hosts have thought of everything! Beautiful historical home, yet with all the mod cons. Best shower ever and the spa bath was wonderful after tiring days walking. Beds were comfy and plenty of extra blankets and portable heating to move about for those cold Tassie nights. Main heater was rather lpud n rattly but worked well to keep us snug n warm 🙂

I stayed in the garden cottage and would stay again. Basic essentials are covered, though the building is obviously very old and is in need of some TLC.

I was in a Loft Room witch was great had queen size bed & had great spacious areas to roam about in the room but unfortunetally the steps was steep & unsafe for people with bigger feet & had to go down sideways on the going downstairs trips & Im at tall person was hitting the ceiling from the angle of the heritage building was made also had to duck under the bathroom doorway & had to sit on the toilet most times but didnt mind the uniqueness of the building with the Telephone (Book Library) Booth & the Paintings & Cross Stitch work was hanging in the rooms was a nice touch to the place
