Guest Reviews

Lisa (2/5): - I was so disappointed with this accommodation. The room was dirty, the furniture unclean and the bathroom was terrible there were stains in the sink and toilet. The grounds around our room was messy and unkept
Amanda (10/5): - Stayed here overnight along the Great Victorian Rail Trail and it was lovely. The place is closed on Mondays so I received a text with all check in information etc which was easy to follow. Room was lovely, shower pressure amazing. It would be nice to have sugar for the coffee, but that's a minor issue. Takeaways a few minutes walk for dinner and overall glad I stayed here.
David (10/5): - Staff & meal were great. Room was excellent also.
Bev (8/5): - Very quaint property. Loved that breakfast was there on the landing and we could have it at whatever time we desired. Restaurant also very good.
Alice (6/5): - This property just needs a new paint as it would increase the review of the stay and renavations would be advised
Naomi (8/5): - Great simple accommodation, perfect for an overnight stay. Linen and bathroom were clean and the bed was comfy. Late check in was a bonus as we contacted them ahead of time.
Chris (8/5): - This property was fair for the price
Noreen (6/5): - An old building, guest rooms pleasant and roomy. In-room facilities OK and included tea-making and a fridge. The inverter heater was underpowered for the size of the room and the 12foot ceilings. Staff were helpful and pleasant when available but the service desk wasn't available for much of the time. Luggage had to be carried up the old wooden fire escape at the rear. Property not suitable for oldies like me.
Perin (10/5): - Clean room, great value and very convenient.
William (10/5): - The gentleman who showed us to our room was lovely and friendly . It’s a beautiful old heritage building and we were lovely comfy and felt safe . Sure it could do with some attention but “ hey “ don’t we all need that at our own homes . Over all a very pleasant stay and we will return as soon as we can . Thankyou 🙂
Yosh (10/5): - A very lovely, cozy and welcoming hotel. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and accommodating and the room was clean and comfy. Amazing shower pressure! Will absolutely stay again.
Anne (8/5): - Clean toilets down stairs But otherwise very good
Linda (10/5): - My sisters and I stayed in the off site unit as we wanted accomodation we could all share but with enough beds for the 3 of us. The unit was very comfortable with everything we needed for a single nights stay. My only suggestion would be to provide instructions for the dvd player as we couldnt get it to work and I'm not sure if there was a wifi password also available ? Otherwise a great stay thanks.
Barry (10/5): - we ahve stayed there many times and is our choice in the area. The rooms have always been clean and tidy and easy access. If we want dinner also very good and the best in town. Strongly recomend.
Christie (8/5): - Property was beautiful. Staff were amazing. Meals were devine. Absolutely outstanding that we could have it brought up to our room after a 15hr day working in the mud and rain. The last thing we wanted to do was be around people. The bed was comfortable, the room clean and comfortable. The negative, which honestly, was a HUGE negative after 15hrs in the rain and mud... was the shower head was broken. It meant we couldn't enjoy a proper shower. For an item that isn't that costly, it's a massive disappointment that it was so damaged. Could replace that and take the place from a 4 star to a 5 star instantly.
Liz (6/5): - Very noisy being on a main road. Thin windows...they sounded like they were open, but they were all closed. Shower drips.
Daniel (10/5): - The staff and food was lovely
Simone (8/5): - The room was tidy but carpet stained and things dusty. Bed was super comfortable. The staircase at the back to enter the accommodation was unlit at night making it dangerous.
Daniel (10/5): - The Peppercorn hotel was very comfortable and the staff were all very welcoming and accommodating. We were staying over on a cycling trip. Dinner was really pleasant, good food and wonderful service.
Martin (6/5): - We stayed for four nights . The room was never cleaned. Nowhere to place you luggage. Toilet was running for the whole time, Water in the bath tub was brown. Windows , curtains and carpet are not cleaned in quite some time. Fireplace in the room was smelling. Breakfast was a joke. No bread on Monday. Overall not a boutique accommodation
colin (10/5): - A beautiful hotel with friendly staff and our room was comfortable clean and welcoming. On arrival we were welcomed with a warm smile from staff and even though the hotel was busy a staff member who was off duty escorted us to our room and booked us in for dinner. Highly recommend this hotel stay 5 stars
Richard (6/5): Could easily do better - Stayed for one night. Met. By someone who had no idea about bookings and had to contact someone off site to confirm our booking. Room at first glance nice and comfortable, but empty beer bottle on the shelf, 4 lights in the ceiling didn’t work as did neither of the bedside lights! Not really clean either so the overall appearance is of an operation being run on a very limited budget. Also ate there. Okay but again could be much better with some extra care and attention.
Michael (8/5): - Go with an open mind and enjoy, the building is a wonderful old pub full of interest for the visitor. The restaurant downstairs is great, right in the old pub, we were there on Curry night, very good! Continental breakfast is set up in a common area upstairs - take what you want back to your room. Room facilities and condition are very ordinary but we enjoyed our stay.
Raymond (8/5): - nice room, value for money
GLEN (8/5): - nice place
Verified traveler (6/5): - We didn’t seem to be expected so checkin was awkward but the room was lovely and the restaurant meal fabulous. The exterior of this lovely building needs some attention to match the beautiful interior.
Dale (10/5): - It should really have WiFi
Robyn (8/5): - This was a great overnight stay. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the room was. Also, I can recommend the meals in the Hotel.
LINDA (10/5): - Great accomodation, only downer we had to wash plates, glasses and cutlery before using as someone had put them away dirty. Maybe cleaner should check this when cleaning
Andy (10/5): - Great accomodation, really enjoyed our overnight stay
mark (10/5): - What a hidden gem - lovely clean large rooms, in a lovely location. With great food and even better service in the pub downstairs. Can't recommend this place highly enough!
Mary (10/5): - No instructions were given for returning at night. Shower base was very slippery. Room and bathroom were lovely..
Greg (8/5): - There is no external lighting for the stairs, and the bed is too soft for me. Otherwise, the room and decor were very good.
Paul (6/5): - its just old, the bed seemed old etc
Barbara (6/5): - Great location . Unfortunately very dirty beds comfortable
Andrew (10/5): - I arrived late and the restaurant had shut 15 mins earlier. The owner made me a delicious Butter Chicken as Tuesday was curry night. Mickey from behind the bar was extremely good at her job and helped me with the local beer selection. The room was fantastic. It was spacious, clean and quiet. I also enjoyed a final drink in a comfortable chair on the balcony. The bed in my room was extremely comfortable and I had a great nights sleep. My only regret was not being able to stay for an additional night.
David (6/5): - Liked: quiet room Disliked: inconvenient and dangerous (Back stairs) Room needs refreshing, doesn’t present as website photos suggest
Natasha (10/5): - Just beautiful
Pam (10/5): Rail Trail Getaway - We chose to stay here due to the proximity to parts of the Rail Trail. Room was very clean. We chose the verandah room. It was upstairs. Our son chose another room which was downstairs. No direct access to the verandah from our room but there’s a door next to our room that can be used to gain access. Large shower with two shower heads. Swivel TV that can be viewed from the bed or the lounge chairs. Beautiful wooden floorboards. Plenty of bedding with crisp top and bottom sheets and warm quilts. Keys to the room and the door to the top floor are in a lock box near the external staircase. There’s also an internal staircase to the restaurant/bar area. On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings the restaurant serves Indian food. I don’t know what they serve the other nights. Car parking is off street, at the side of the hotel. There’s also a courtyard next to the car park with plenty of tables and chairs. Staff kindly warmed up my son’s pizza (which he had brought from home) because there’s no microwaves in the individual hotel rooms. Our verandah room must have been above the restaurant. We could hear the music but it wasn’t too loud and it didn’t go too late. Hotel is on a suburban street, near a park, just a block away from the main shopping strip. There’s also a wetland area nearby with boardwalks, ponds etc which we walked around after dinner.
Anthony (10/5): Quirky but cute in Yea - Quirky and cute. Old heritage building with upstairs rooms so getting up creaky stairs was fun! Great staff. Restaurant on site with great meals at good prices. Room was very comfortable. A great stay
Kristy (10/5): - Beautiful old pub in a quiet location, lovely market across the road on the saturday morning
Mike (2/5): - Promised a lot but delivered very little! Noisy generator and an overwhelming fish smell outside at all times. Average at best.
Deborah (6/5): Missed the mark. - The hotel missed the mark on style. The bedside lamps had no cover only lightbulbs, the doona cover and pillows were a very dark navy that looked dodgy. I think white covers look fresh, clean and more inviting. The breakfast station on the landing was good with plenty of cereal, bread and toppings. If the owners want to improve the rooms they should stay at the royal daylesford and take notice of the small touches. The both hotel are around the same cost but massive difference in accommodation, it wouldn’t take much to improve the Peppercorn it just needs a bit of attention and love.
Amy (4/5): - The room pictured was not the room we stayed in. The staff member who checked us in was lovely, spotted us and checked us in. Check out easy. Terrible decor. Shower too hot or too cold. Toilet seat did not stay up. Large cobwebs. Bed was saggy and valance on bed dirty.
Alex (10/5): - Lovely area - nice, comfortable and clean accomodation.
Angela (6/5): - Check in was disorganised. Dinner was a bit disorganised, some friendly staff. Noisy around bedtime. Room was pretty much as advertised which was satisfactory.
Joan (10/5): - Loved the balcony although the furniture does need some maintenance. Bed very comfortable.
Jeffrey (10/5): - Really enjoyed our time and the terrific staff.
Donna (6/5): - The property is gorgeously renovated. The staff were lovely. Closed sign on door at check in. Fella who answered the phone sounded as if we had interfered and no staff in the morning so there was no continental breakfast available. We noticed as leaving a dark and locked up property that there was cereal, milk and toast available on a hall table - this had not been pointed out during our stay. The restaurant was beautiful, food delicious and staff very attentive. The bed was old and in poor condition - both slept poorly with painful backs in the morning. Location is close to town, but the music played was jazzy - so great atmosphere Would stay again if they change the bed and have staff in morning for breakfast.
Verified traveler (2/5): Disappointed - Below standard
philip (10/5): Ofsite room - Stayed in the ofsite "room". It is actually a 2 bedroom apartment. Spacious, clean, it had everything you need in the room down to pots pans fully kitted out. Comfortable bed in large bedrooms. Maybe 10% dearer than i would expect but it was a long weekend.
Andrew (2/5): - Issues from check in - states can check in from 2-5pm. The Peppercorn was closed, found a phone number on the menu in the window - not good enough, details could have been text to us that morning. Stayed in offsite unit - wow, musty on entering, other peoples open milk, food & alcohol in fridge, oven dirty, dishwasher not emptied, broken blind, lots of cobwebs in outdoor area, outdoor table not clean, windows dirty. We were going to have dinner at the Peppercorn Hotel, with the state of the accommodation we didn’t want to give them anymore of our money so went to Country Club Hotel - delicious meal. Extremely disappointing - would NEVER stay there again!!!
Karen (6/5): - The property was comfortable and tidy. When we first arrived, we weren't able to unlock the front door as the lock was stuck. Lucky there was another entrance. There was a lack of cutlery/crockery in the unit, no tea towels to dry dishes, no garbage bags. The beds were very comfortable and the shower nice, however it dripped continuously. Overall it was a comfortable stay, however for a self contained unit, they need to provide more kitchen utensils, etc.
Meni (10/5): - One of the best sleeps I’ve had at a hotel. Great premises. Great dining options. Great continental breakfast. Great staff.
Ian (10/5): - A neatly presented room with modern facilities in a yesteryear setting. Great for access to the rail trail - just across the road. Walkable to shops. Excellent meals - quality ingredients, tasty well above the average pub meal - high restaurant standard.
Dave (8/5): - Old style charm with modern inclusions, very comfortable & a lovely Indian meal downstairs.
Adrian (6/5): - Room was as described.
Kassandra (8/5): - The property was a great size and spacious for the 3 of us - great for a quick one night stopover. You could tell that it had been surface cleaned but not deep cleaned - there were dead bugs squished on the lamp, dirty marks in the shower, cobwebs on the inside and outside.
anthony (2/5): - I booked my room on line and there was no body there for check-in and sign to say they are closed on Monday and Tuesday!. Called and left message on contact number and got a message after 2 hours to check key box but no keys! Called again and straight to voicemail! Left to find other accommodation.
Rose (2/5): - Our hotel room looked nothing like the picture advertised. Our room was damp, leaking roof, dowdy and very disappointing. Would not recommend and definitely not be staying here again.
Amanda (10/5): - This place was one of the best places I’ve stayed. Good quality coffee, soap, shampoos etc. Staff were just amazing and so friendly. The hotel is full of charm and history and the room was furnished to match. We will be back here.
Brian (6/5): - No power. While a blackout from a storm isn’t the owner’s fault, a back up generator should be in place for this. We should not have to pay full price for a blacked out room with no hot water. Outside of this, it was quite lovely.
Jane (2/5): - Stayed Jan 2, noone on site, operated by a lockbox. Storm came through and cut power from 4.30pm till 6.20am following morning. No contact from owners as to our safety. Place was pitch black, including exit light going out about 9.15. Should of at least been offered a torch. Breakfast consisted of warm milk from a fridge unpowered all night and no bread. Highly unsafe in terms of anyone falling or a fire starting. Won't be back.
Louise (6/5): - Rooms were clean. Access up the outside staircase could be improved especially if it was wet. Had no interaction with staff as it was over the Christmas new year period and the pub was closed.
Kate (6/5): - The bed was VERY soft and not very comfortable. Apart from a hook on the door there was no where to hang clothes. Lighting on the back stairs was not working. The back stairs could also benefit from non slip treatment.
Gary (2/5): - The bed was so old and soft it was collapsed in the middle I did not stay and had to find alternative accommodation in town Disgusting expecting people to sleep on that
Michael (8/5): - Spacious and quiet.
Mark (10/5): - This is one of the most unique properties anywhere. The old world charm, the outstanding dining experience. The friendly happy, down to earth staff. Our room was spacious and comfortable with an old world rustic charm. The towels were huge and fluffy and toiletries were delightful. Love this place
Aaron (8/5): - Quite good. Would stay again.
joan (10/5): GREAT PLACE TO STAY - GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND A LOVELY ROOM-ONLY ADDITION I WOULD ASK FOR IS LIGHTS ON WALL ABOVE BED FOR READING
Brendan (10/5): - Great country style hotel with super comfy beds
Julie (8/5): - Our overnight stay was fine, however we struggled big time with the stairs (particularly the outdoor stairs) and had we known there is a ground floor suite we would have booked it. Will know for next time. Also, no hanging space/wardrobe facilities (except for hook on the back of the door). Nice and quiet and comfy bed!
John (10/5): - Good stay
Graeme (10/5): - Qaint quality
Elizabeth (10/5): - It is a lovely place to stay..........it was a pity the shower base had a horrible crack in it .........it took away from the room......but loved the stay thanks
Sheila (10/5): - The room was lovely and very spacious. The continental breakfast was very convenient for us as we were travelling. The staff were welcoming and helpful, the meal in the restaurant was lovely too thankyou for a lovely stay at the Peppercorn Hotel.
Trevor (10/5): - Lovely stay but couldn’t find any tea towels. Also dishes left (clean) in dishwasher on arrival.
Paula (8/5): - The property was a beautiful old country pub, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Dinner downstairs was absolutely delicious. Our room was spotlessly clean and had everything you would expect. The only problem i had was the mice/possums in the roof, kept me awake at night...
Vickie (10/5): - It was a pleasure to stay. The rooms are amazingly spacious and comfortable. The rooms were quiet. Bathroom was huge. Staff are amazing and friendly. The only place I stay when staying in Yea
Virgil (10/5): - Very old passion hotel, but the room is very nice and clean and big bathroom. Walking distance to cafe and restaurant, nice balcony and good wifi
Cheryl (10/5): - Loved the old fashioned decor and features of the building combined with modern comforts. Very friendly and helpful staff.
MARK (10/5): - This is a fantastic property, great food, drinks (love the strawberry cider!) and accommodation Everyone was friendly and welcoming.
Caitlin (10/5): - Very clean, cute room above the pub - modern bathroom.
Peter (10/5): - We stayed in the two bed apartment about 500m from the hotel itself. Comfortable, clean and well located. Our second stay and we’ll be back.
Jenny (8/5): - Easy, friendly check in. Spacious room , very clean, comfy bed. Everything needed was there!
Martin (8/5): - Everything great but time to renew the mattress
Richard (10/5): - Beautiful Large rooms that have kept the historical aspects
Peter (10/5): Hidden treasure - Excellent service excellent staff excellent food
Shannon (10/5): - Great property, the room was lovely and we really enjoyed our stay.
Tony (10/5): - Eclectic tasteful renovated. Restaurant just downstairs excellent food, service and prices. Quiet off the main road, cool and comfy beds. Definitely going back again
Cathy (10/5): - Beautiful room with double shower , perfect for couples after riding the Great Victorian rail trail . Fabulous food
SAMANTHA (10/5): - Food was amazing also
Symone (8/5): - There needs to be more lighting on stairs in after hours entrance.
Darren (10/5): - Lovely room, period features. Food and service were excellent.
Richard (10/5): - Nice room, very helpful staff!
David (4/5): - Half a cup of coffee from previous occupant greeted us on check in. Cob webs in several corners of the room - and over the shower. Entry way crowded with old chairs and ‘stuff’ so the room frankly felt like it wasn’t being used. Exterior for building looks nice and lock box check instructions all worked well. But frankly would never stay here again.
Verified traveler (10/5): Spacious unit. - we stayed at the 2 bedroom villa unit it was comfortable, spacious and clean, we had an easy check in and friendly staff at the hotel and the unit was up the road a bit.
mario (8/5): - We enjoyed the vintage aspect of the room and the dining area. Very friendly staff and conveniently positioned. Down side was the bed was not very comfortable. Sure to return again.
Robert (10/5): - A/Hrs access was easy for a late arrival and the help from owner was a delite @ Peppercorn
Brian (8/5): - Friendly staff & restaurant food very good
