Olinda warmth
Pros:

On arrival room was warm and gas log fire was running. Booking in was easy and friendly and the room small but lovely. The position was wonderful to explore the area.

Cons:

The TV was not a smart one so couldnt stream via phone etc and with the weather the station reception kept buffering but still great to read etc and chill.

"Royalty with Flaws"
Pros:

I loved the Victorian suite, Gorgeous Key set, Stylish, upmarket, comfy, gorgeous colours in the room.
Huge Bed. Great View.
Delightful chocolates on arrival.

Self contained accommodation, had it's own microwave & basic complimentary breakfast.
I really enjoyed myself in Olinda, Thank you to The Loft for making my stay easier 🌈

Cons:

Unfortunately No Hot Breakfast with No Chef on the premises. No restaurant, Bar or pool.
I was really looking forward to having breakfast in Bed.
No Netflix unless you paid for it.
Apparently it was a sound proof room, except it actually wasn't I could here everything.

After having a shower in the room, there was a Rustic smell.
Very distinctive like mold.

Pros:

It was clean, spacious, cosy, charming. Exactly as represented in photos.

Cons:

The only let down was the gas fireplace was not working but, apparently this had just occurred at start of our stay. Fortunately, 2x split system heaters fully operational. Otherwise, excellent all round. Recommended.

One of the nicest accomodations I’ve ever stayed at
Pros:

This property was absolutely stunning. We stayed in the Hathaway suite. We had an open fire place, a beautiful outdoor balcony area and a spa bath aswell. The staff were amazing to deal with and we will definitely be staying here again. Location is great, walking distance from everything you need while staying in Olinda. Beautiful ❤️

Great location, very attentive staff attending to all our needs, super comfy bed
Pros:

Reception & check in by Ada was just lovely…we were spoilt with chocolates and home grown mandarins to celebrate our birthdays, location was excellent, our bed was super comfy

Cons:

Sadly the wood fire needs a professional
Plumber to address smoke into the room issues & the kitchen taps need attention as does the front door…

Pros:

Excellent location and room met expectations(see below). Bed comfortable and all facilities provided as described

Cons:

We noticed a musty odour when walking in the room, that we eventually found out to be very very carpet, wet enough to soak socks when walking around. Appears a water leak somewhere contributing to this

Wonderful stay, wish we could have stayed longer.
Pros:

Location was fantastic, cafes, shops, restaurants all 5 minutes away. We had a Beautiful room with a garden courtyard, with a lemon tree with fruit no less. Fireplace to add atmosphere was wonderful.
Definitely recommend to friends, staff were also very helpful for all out needs.

Very cute, quiet and romantic little royal suit, we will be back
Pros:

What did we like? Everything, we stayed in the King Arthur suite and it was incredible, the bed was absolutely amazing slept like a baby, loved the big shower, wood fire, cozy little lounge room area just everything. The kitchen was great had everything we needed for the weekend, fridge was surprisingly generously stocked with water, juice, milk, butter and bread in cute little bags for our stay and soooooo much coffee, tea, sugar and condiments. All 3 beautiful ladies that we spoke to and that took amazing care of us (2 on check in and one on check out) were lovely, definitely took as by surprise when they found out we were there for and on my husband's birthday they very sweetly came back to our suite with a delicious bottle of wine and some chocolates for him which made him feel very special. Also very much enjoyed having coffee and breakfast in our private little courtyard so cute, we have just got home and are already working out which room to stay in next.

Cons:

Didn't really like the position of the TV but we made it work as there is really no other place for it, and also having to leave to come home 🙁
