Hotels Near John Lister’s Grave and Lookout in Blayney

Clean and good service, however, it is a bit expensive, if you like to drink, it is a good selection

WELL WORTH A VISIT My husband and I attended Whitney’s Restaurant at the Remington Hotel on Sunday night and were very pleasantly surprised. We went there with no real expectations as too many “up market “ restaurants in Orange of late have become overpriced in both their food and wine on offer and their service leave a lot to be desired. This was not the case at Whitney’s quite the opposite. The food was not only delicious, but extremely satisfying and reasonably priced. The presentation of the desserts were impeccable and just as delicious as anything I have had at many hatted restaurants in regional and major cities. It was also refreshing to see local wines showcased and at reasonable prices for a change. The staff I must say were very welcoming and extremely professional. Ray did a wonderful job of making us feel comfortable and at ease. Brendon who had only been there for a few weeks was one of the most professional wait staff I had encountered in Orange for quite awhile, whilst also being warm and friendly, a trait very few can achieve in the hospitality industry. Although Whitney’s does not have spectacular views from inside the restaurant, you hardly notice as the decor is not only tasteful contemporary but also warmly inviting. As we live relatively close to this wonderful new restaurant, we will becoming regulars and look forward to trying more of what they have to offer.

I visited Orange for the Medieval Festival and because the town seemed so popular, there wasn't much accommodation at a reasonable price available. I paid $75 for a single room with shower but shared toilet. The room was compact and had AC which worked, tv (remote or tv not working), shower that leaked. The downlight above the light did not work. As it is on top of a pub, the music could be heard in the background til 2am and although on the main highway, I only heard one semi-trailer at night. The Royal Hotel is centrally located with two shopping malls nearby and two other pubs within a 5 minute walk. The location can't be beat. The duvet and mattress were very comfortable and whoever was the buyer should be commended for that. Wifi is free and worked sufficiently enough for Facebook. Overall - if you set your expectations low - it is actually alright but if i paid my standard $130 for a night I would have felt cheesed off..If the Royal Hotel put some effort in doing up the place, it would get a higher rating and the ability to charge more. I suggest an ensuite in each room.

Location was perfect, in the centre of Orange, Bathrooms were renovated, I feel this needs to happen with the bedrooms. Friendly staff.

I think the cost performance is good considering the accommodation costs. The concierge was kind. Location is ok.
