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.
