What a lovely historic hotel. A great choice for a one night stay in Port Fairy. The room has a huge up to date bathroom which other than being a bit cold was a great modern feature. Very comfortable bed and we enjoyed a delicious meal in the pub.

Room had been nicely updated & was very clean & comfortable. Great value for money & well located, close to the shops. The downside is definitely the hot water service, which is extremely difficult to regulate & after running the hot water without any cold for approximately 5 mins in an attempt to get some hot water, it came through boiling hot very suddenly & scalded me.

This place was a very nice surprise and much better than my expectations. Importantly, the bed was very comfortable with good pillow selection and the food at the pub attached was also excellent. The room was simple but had been refurbised so it was very well set up and included everything I needed for my stay. I've tagged this place as my preferred accom next time I'm in Port Fairy.
