Guest Reviews
- Denise (10/5): Historic charm - Great stay, accommodation historic and comfortable
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A lovely property. Unique accommodation everything we required. Quiet, lovely owners
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Peaceful, thoughtful details and cosy, a lovely place to stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was brilliant. Too stay in absolute comfort in a cottage built in the 1840s on a working sheep property was a rare privilege.
- Jackie (10/5): - Gorgeous setting amid farmland - quaint little stone cottages with log fire.
- Tim (8/5): One of Tasmania’s First Farms - Historic farm stay near Ross. The open fire and cosy lounge was just the thing on a rainy weekend.
- ROSS (10/5): Old world colonial charm - Loved the beautifully restored accommodation. We stayed here 10 yrs ago and it is still beautiful and remains our favourite stopover in Tasmania.
- Brendan (8/5): Enjoyable - First impressions was that the farm was beautiful however it was really hard to locate the reception and when we did it was empty. Had to wait about 10 minutes for someone to show up and let us in. The breakfast provided was great but there was mouse droppings in the cupboards and on the bed.
- Marion (10/5): Colonial Cottage on a working farm - Somercotes has several colonial cottages available - we stayed in Bonner. We'd made a last minute booking after our previously confirmed accommodation was suddenly 'unavailable'. Our host was not fazed by us arriving on her doorstep before she'd received our request! We were made to feel very welcome.
- Cathy (8/5): Very impressed with the history of the place - Found the bathroom too small, with only a tiny hand-washing type basin - had to clean teeth over the kitchenette sink, which worked OK really. Overall very good!
- MM (8/5): convict build cottages on working farm and orchard - cottages had all you need. Very thoughtful inclusions. Fresh eggs and homemade bread. Bit hit and miss for someone to be there on arrival - just be patient. Totally quiet overnight. Good spot for midlands touring.
- Maureen (8/5): Lovely experience - We were a little disappointed that we had to wait around for 25 mins before our arrival was noted. . Walking around the lovely grounds while doing so was a bonus Milk and orange juice in jugs in the fridge was around 600mls each, but it wasnt explained that that was our total quota for 2 days.... needless to say cereal was a dry meal for second day. Fresh loaf of bread was lovely and kitchen facilities were adequate. Bed was very comfortable and linen fresh. Hot water was abundant.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Incredible history!! - It felt like we stepped back nearly 200 years. Amazing experience.
- michael (8/5): A historic cottage full of character. - The authentic taste of early settlement of the colony.You have the amenities of several rooms.
- Louise (10/5): Quiet Colonial Retreat - Period features gives you a glimpse back to the past. Included fireplace and thick brickwork. Well stocked kitchen with bacon, eggs, cerial,milk and juice to cook your own breakfast. Needs to change shower head.
- barbara (4/5): Old fashioned overnight stay - Very disappointed overall
- Deb (10/5): - Loved the historic feel of the cottage - beautifully restored and comfy.
- peter (6/5): Overpriced - Previous reviews don't always guide you correctly. This is a very basic property with a reasonably high price tag. The full breakfast requires a self cook. The shower has no shampoo and the basin in the bathroom was lucky to hold a cup full. The plus was the comfort of the bed
- val (8/5): Farm life - Very quiet . The rooms had great atmosphere, log fire. Breakfast supplies were ample and delicious.
- Julia (8/5): Historic homestead in Tasmanian Midlands - This was a wonderful opportunity to stay in a historic National Trust-classified homestead, with home and workers' cottages dating from 1823. "Somercotes" is a working farm, but residential areas are beautifully landscaped with boxed lavender hedges, trim lawns, etc. There is a children's play area with a tree house and tyre swing, and lots of interest, with a shed-ful of ancient carriages and John Deere tractors, etc., and a "pugmill" (for making bricks on site), which are endlessly fascinating. Breakfast is included, but there is a catch: in the fridge, eggs, bacon, homemade bread, farm-produced cherry and apricot jams, to be cooked by self, and washing-up would be appreciated! Although bathroom amenities are basic, modern glass and chrome would not sit comfortably in these old cottages. We would certainly stay again, hopefully for a couple of days, allowing more time for local exploration of the property and the nearby historic village of Ross.
