Harrison Hammond House Farmstay

The property is unique and is a farm type experience. The antique furniture is beautiful and so is the area. Coffee and toast was available as well as a community fridge. This would be a great spot for a bunch of friends to rent the whole place out.

Site introduction was minimal and not sure how we were meant to secure our belongings when we went out for a meal.

The property is breathtakingly beautiful but does not offer anything aside from that. There is a hot tub but we weren’t allowed to turn on the device (so all it had was just warm water - which was good). There was hardly any food on the property or around, except a few fruits here and there. For a B&B, there was only bread, jam and a few fruits available for breakfast.

I stayed here with my mother for 5 nights (the last on my own). The B&B is not actually serving breakfast which they claim is due to Covid but other restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, deli and small diners are all serving food now to the public without masks so I’m not sure why they would still be trying to limit exposure while also not insisting on masks unless it was just a BS excuse not to offer what was expected in what I paid for. If I had known I wasn’t getting breakfast I would have just stayed at Harrison Lake Resort where it’s at least clean. The dust level in the room was so exceptionally bad that I have required an epipen to deal with my allergic reaction to it. It’s been 5 years since I’ve had that bad of a reaction to house dust. You can smell the house dust in the bed, the bedding, the pillows, it’s behind the bed, under the bed, in the sofas, the chairs, in the room with the pool table, on the musical instruments etc. It’s everywhere. Outside it’s pretty. I’m sure the massive rhododendron in summer must be gorgeous to look at. The first night Harold met my mom and then me (separate cars) to show us into the house but he was completely drunk. The house has a row of tractors in front of it. I had a lot of hope based on the write ups I had read about the place and about the breakfast that they offered but you can’t eat hope for breakfast. Hopefully they do some really thorough cleaning and offer more than Toast for breakfast to subsequent travellers.

The cabin looked upon the most beautiful view - it was so very peaceful out there…an utter oasis. The owners do a superb job on this property!

Very nice place would definitely go again

Gorgeous views, a huge room with a sunroom and a patio.

The property is huge and fantastic. Bedroom was big and nice, the aircon was ok to be honest. Bedroom was not lockable which made it little uncomfortable for us. More of a privacy issue especially when staying with other people. I guess they can fix it easily! Hosts Harold and Fei were super cool.
