Laurel Cottage

West Hobart

My wife and I stayed 2 nights at the cottage and my review is a mixed one.  For history, memories, ambiance and quietness I would give 5 stars.  For reasons of cleanliness I would give 3 stars.  This is because when we checked in there were cobwebs in a couple of rooms and the place was quite musty, with dust gathering here and there.  Almost like it hadn't been aired for a while. Having said that everything you want is there, with some trimmings such as bread, milk, eggs, Port and some chocolates.  Fire wood was provided and the fire place set up as well ready to light.
All kitchen needs were there including some alfoil and gladwrap. Once moved in, there is nothing you will need.  It even has a washing machine.  Sitting by the fire pouring a port and then reading the history of the cottage was brilliant.  We really enjoyed out stay and I have no hesitation in recommending the cottage to others.  Its a great getaway place.

Nice Stay

Laurel Cottage is conveniently located close to the famous Richmond Bridge within walking distance of the town. Lovely, comfortable, spacious, well-equipped little cottage. Kitchen has everything you would need. Cosy family room with fireplace, complete with a selection of DVDs. Comfortable beds with electric blankets. Plenty of space for a family. Perfect home away from home.

Delightful Historic Cottage

Authentically old. Comfortable, nicely decorated. Fresh flowers and breakfast provided. Friendly helpful manager. Lovely gardens. Just near Richmond bridge and an easy walk to other town attractions.  Wood fire heater, you might need it even in December.

Delightful step back in time

Wonderful place to stay, close to most attractions including Port Arthur, lovely wood fire, very comfortable beds and so clean, breakfast was supplied with a great choice of food, even orange juice.the cottage has a lot of history and has been lovingly restored, a book in the lounge details the restoration.

Great place to stay

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Laurel Cottage for two nights. For anyone wishing for the colonial cottage experience without forgoing the comforts of the twenty first century, this is the place for them.
Our host could not have been more helpful and friendly, and the cottage is a stone's throw from what is in my opinion the most beautiful bridge in the world, which is also Australia's oldest bridge.
The kitchen has eveything you need if you intend cooking for yourself, and you are even supplied with bread, milk, eggs and fruit. There is firewood outside the door for the wood heater if required. There are many nice touches that contribute to the authenticity of the experience, one of which is the hat-rack in the hallway, complete with old hats.
Appropriately, the house is surrounded by beautiful cottage gardens, and off-street parking at the back of the house is a nice convenience.

Colonial Experience with Comfort

This is a living history experience offering home comforts, provided by a most congenial hostess. The period décor includes books and DVDs and extra lighting. The 1800's renovated cottage is in an ideal location, close to Richmond Bridge and the village of shops, cafes, pub and historic attractions. Set in pretty gardens the cottage has two bedrooms but the only bathroom is ensuite to the main bedroom so the property would be best suited to a couple, solo or a family without toddlers. We look forward to staying again.
