Could have been better if they thought about guest experience
Pros:

Beautiful old building and great location, so close to town centre.

Cons:

No staff, no access to the balcony, no access to garden out the back to relax in the sun. No well lit and no common area to lounge and rest other than your cell “room”. No bedside lamp either

Lovely stay in an amazing historical building, and incredibly cheap!
Pros:

Great location in an amazing old building. My room was HUGE, I'm talking 7 meters long and 4 meters high.
Basic, but quite comfy. Great to have a night stand etc to put things on.

Cons:

Bathroom was quite basic and a bit far away from the room.

Pros:

The Miners Cottage was a lovely choice of accommodation, with all the little extras of a fridge, heating/cooling and the most comfortable bed..... Staff friendly and the whole property well maintained....... Being so close to the main street was perfect too......

Pros:

Angela was welcoming and accommodating. We arrived earlier than check-in but host was able to provide access for a freshen up. With an additional party member additional bedding was prepared which was greatly appreciated. We were accommodated in the Nun's cottage which was cosy and warm in a chilly autumn evening in Beechworth.
