"The accommodation was very nice. Although it's a bit far from the town center, it's very close to the expressway, making it very convenient to get back. We also noticed the roads were better than before; they've been renovated."

"We had the worst nights sleep at Strathearn Park Lodge during our recent road trip. The bed was "very hard" and the room had an over powering odour, it was hard to describe at the time, but it made me feel ill. I have since found out that Strathearn Park Lodge is pet friendly, so I am now thinking the odour could have been in the carpet and was enhanced by the fireplace and the reverse cycle air conditioner, as the night was very cold. The lounge chair in the room was also uncomfortable, there were no springs or "give" in the seating, it was like sitting on a bench seat. A Continental Breakfast is available, the pot of tea was nice and hot as well as plentiful. Parking is under cover in a tin shed adjacent to the house. Stay very alert when looking for this place, it is located in a "100 km/h zone" on the New England Hwy from Scone to Mussellbrook as the Lodge is not readily seen from the Hwy at speed. Not even "Waze" was able to assist us. A sign 1 - 1.5kms prior would help to alert drivers."

"Stayed at the Valley View for the June long weekend. Couldnt have been happier. Room was clean and importantly cosy, electric blanket, air con, quilt and blanket on comfy bed, great hot shower with large modern showerhead. Local hotels deliver meals to motel also when you really don’t feel like going out in the cold again. Outdoor area with bbq with lots of warm sunshine in the afternoon and a place to meet other travellers. A pool for the hot summers. All against backdrop of stunning mountains. Best of all were the amazing owners, very friendly and happy to help with anything and a bottle of wine on arrival or juice or chocolate if that’s your thing. Situated centrally between Scone and Tamworth, plus Murrurundi is a beautiful little town itself, with lots of history, friendly people, museums, great cafes and pubs. Looking forward to going back 👍"

"Very cheap and best"

"Its not the Hilton but you didn't expect that Decent in the context of being a small town. Rooms a bit out of date (again as expected) but manager helpful. No real complaints"

"These are allegedly serviced apartments except there is no service. No staff on site to be seen Rooms not made up."

"The room that we stayed in (10) was far from acceptable. There were stains all over the floor and a stain on one of the pillow slips. The room stunk of cigarette smoke and we had to leave the door open for awhile because the air freshener used to try and cover up the smell was so strong it made my eyes water. The bottom of the shower curtain was mouldy. I understand that it is expensive to do up the rooms. However, charging $170 is ridiculous. If it was $100 I would understand. I contacted the owner to let them know and they ghosted me."

"Great centrally located place to stay a few nights in Scone. The only negative was that the shower was in the bath but apart from that this is a great place to stay. Comfortable, quiet and has all the modern cons that you need"

"We had a one-night stay in this historical house on a recent road trip. The room we had was very comfortable on the first floor. Its a lovely old house, and very central to shops, cafes and "The Cottage", a very delightful restaurant a few hundred metres walk up the street. Would definitely stay again next time we are passing through."
