Clean, very comfortable bed and great staff. Stayed 2 nights as we had a wedding there, so convenient. Nice continental breakfast. Lovely big room with sitting area. Coffee machine in our room, plus self serve coffee near reception. Walked 20mins to centre of town to restaurant. Train noisy and the bridge at front entrance was loud and woke us. Some construction going onsite as well. Pleasant stay.

Great historical site. Pet Friendly and we brought our puppy. You just need to bring their bed and an additional $40 per dog per night. It was Comfortable and cozy. Only thing to note is proximity to the Train station and tracks, trains passing and announcements from the station can be heard.
Some of the grounds were under repair, but not an issue. Staff were friendly and communication was great.
We would stay there again, next time we visit the area.

We stayed at the Fitzroy Inn one weekend in July and we had an unexpectedly pleasant experience. We booked the place because it was one of the very few options in the area for staying with our dog (for an extra fee). We would go back even without a dog. The room was impeccably clean, the whole inn has a charming character. We ordered in and ate our dinner sitting by the fireplace in the common room. We read books, played some pool, listened to records on a turntable. Perfect chill evening. The self-guided walking tour of the property (in and out) the next day was interesting and informative.
Would definitely go back. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

I thought the entire retreat was just wonderful, very peaceful and intimate. A special thanks to John and James for rescuing me in my hour of need. And to James who so graciously went to get our food order from Zambrero's - and to John for taking us to the train station the following morning. Best of luck running this wonderful retreat!

Welcomed warmly by hosts and their cute dogs. Love the fact that the place has so much history and this history is explained via a self-guided 'walk' throughout the building. Room was comfortable enough, the continental breakfast was welcomed and the location perfect for a visit.
