We spent a weekend here early Jan for a friend's wedding and were pleasantly surprised. The studio at the rear of the house was clean and nicely decorated. While the studio is not large, it was private and within easy walking distance to the main street shops and cafes. The manager was lovely and gave us some excellent dining recommendations... More

The Daylesford-Bendigo area somehow seems to have been bypassed on our earlier visits to Victoria. Don't know why, because it's incredibly beautiful, has so many different attractions, and is well-worth exploring. We used the Carrington Studio at the rear of Carrington House as our base for a 3 night stay in the Daylesford area. It was booked through lastminute.com.au and... More

Fabulously clean, hospitable, warm and relaxing. Thanks to hosts for sharing their music selection, beautiful books, and collectable art for our enjoyment. Appreciated attention to detail in all the rooms. Ignore all negative reviews....... A stay here will not disappoint! More

We had a very pleasant stay at this b&b. Extremely clean rooms, nice and warm inside and lots of lovely homely little touches like home-made shortbread. It feels like staying at your nan's place! Also, It's one of the few places in daylesford that doesn't have a 2 night minimum stay. Would definitely recommend this property. More

We were under the impression that this was a B&B in a cottage/old-style house. What it actually was was a room at the back of a house (like a modern extension) down a very dark driveway. It was very clean, just not what we expected and we thought that it was over-priced. More

We stayed one night at Carrington House in a room at the back of the property. It was clean, modern and self-contained with everything you could need but lacked the charm I was expecting based on the pictures of the property online. At $145 a night, room only, it was an okay price for Daylesford and the owner was very... More

Carrington House is absolutely lovely. It felt very much like home, with guest lounges, tea, coffee, home made biscuits and port. The room was very clean and tastefully decorated. My hosts were able to recommend places for dinner and sightseeing ideas. Being in Daylesford, I had considered skipping breakfast and heading in to a cafe. VERY glad I didn't! Breakfast... More

Bed and breakfast that didn't offer us breakfast, just some tea and coffee in a shared loungeroom...sauna was nothing more than a converted shower, staff were very unpleasant, the husband actually insulted and mocked us. I have never experienced hosts to be that awful and I hope never to again. More

This B&B was rated 4.5 stars. I have stayed at 4.5 star B&B's before and this is definitely not one. In these modern times there are certain things that are expected of 4.5 star establishments - free Wi-Fi, digital TV, flat screen TV, maybe even Foxtel. The TV in the room was too small to watch, no digital stations and... More

We stepped out for an hour, only to find our room had been invaded by ants. The proprietor acted surprised, yet it later turned out that this had been a problem previously. As it turned out, there was a fairly large crack underneath the windowsill that they had neglected to fix, and that is where the ants were coming in.... More
