Nice historical stay for one night

Historical quaint cottage

Small, but well priced and comfortable for a short stay
Pros:

Historic small Garden Cottage, part of the Sorell Barraks complex. There was basic, though sufficient equipment for microwave meals. Comfortable bed, clean, Close to Sorell shops.

Cons:

The Garden Cottage (small building with blossom tree in photos) is NOT the Barracks. Very compact, just enough room to move around the bed with our bags on the floor. But the price is much lower than for the Barracks

Great little stay, just needs some finer details sorted out.
Pros:

Cosy, compact and had all necessities for a comfortable stay.

Cons:

In need of some TLC, front door needs replacing as it doesn’t open fully without a push and the gap at the top makes sure you can hear the traffic. Miss matching paint in the bathroom and main room needs addressing. Just all needs a bit of investment and a lick of paint.

Great value, history & comfort all in one
Pros:

What a great place to stay. History and comfort all in one. We stayed in the little cottage. Very cosy with a beautiful bedroom & a super comfy bed. The little kitchenette was an added bonus to save us having to go out for breakfast.

Sure it would be great if they can fix the electrical issue. the
Pros:

History connection

Cons:

No lights on arrival so no showers. Owner responded straight away to try to sort the issue and then called electrician. We had power for most of the late evening and morning. Lights came on in middle of the night but not in the morning. Something they will need to fix. Caretaker was great trying to help on a cold night but it definitely put a damper on the night.

Lief, schattig en karakter!
Pros:

Super schattig huisje met een goeie badkamer! Er was zelfs een kleine verwarming om aan te zetten. Goed bed en schoon! Keukentje was prima en er is van alles aanwezig om te gebruiken.

Cons:

Ik vond het jammer dat je het gevoel het dat je de deur niet echt op slot doet. Het is een schattig oud huisje, maar zou wel kleine updates kunnen gebruiken. Wat maintenance zaken zoals het deurkozijn.

Pros:

Bed heater was a nice touch though not really neccessary in Tasmania Winter.

Parking was easy

Cons:

very little soundproofing so you'll likely wake up to neighbourhood sounds (rubbish collector/dogs)

Curtains aren't even close to black-out, lots of light gets in 24/7.

Stairs are extremely steep, could pose a risk to older people

I felt very comfortable with my stay and communication was easy and straight forward. The place had everything I needed
Pros:

It was a very cosy home and had everything I needed to be comfortable for my 2 night stay.

Cons:

I could hear everything from all the neighboring rooms, but this is understandable because we wouldn’t want to make any changes to the historic structure

Cosy accommodation with delightful heritage features - highly recommended.
Pros:

It was delightful to stay in this 1820s building, and the accommodation was cosy, comfortable and homelike. My teenage boys were fascinated by the antique knickknacks and we were all surprised and touched at the level of trust shown in having such nice things in the rooms.
