Wow! What can I say! This was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. Beautifully restored, furnished with exquisite antiques, so many gorgeous rooms to choose from to sit and read, the library or billiards room or lounge. Bedrooms are beautifully furnished with the highest quality fittings. A lovely breakfast in the Grand Dining Room is included and is very generous. The lounge is also a lovely place to share a tasting platter of gourmet local produce over some carefully selected wines. Staff are attentive. What more could one ask for!

Perfect position and checking in was delightful and very accomodating . Sadly in the morning after my shower i discovered soiled ingrained stains on the buttock area of the robe I found in the dresser. Not fresh , the robe had been well laundered to the state of feeling like sandpaper. So maybe new robes are needed Then later that morning after having breakfast off site i was profiled and told to F off by the GM After he assumed I wasn’t a guest ,informing me the car park was only for hotel guests. He then argued with me aggressively Before swearing at me . I then walked back to reception and heard him relating a completely false account of the incident to his staff , hearing him say “that’s him “ as he went into another room No longer feeling safe i checked out a day early This form of aggression and bigotry was not expected from the hospitality industry in 2022 and is a very bad look for this once grand hotel . Disability access and functional use of this premises is poor verging on dangerous Not LGBTQ friendly managment

Heritage style and old charm. Very friendly staff. Clean and welcoming. The lift is a bit tricky to open. 😊

Everything about our stay was excellent from the ease of checking in and parking in the undercover parking garage, the efficiency and friendliness of staff, dining options available, lovely room and view to the ease of checking out. Will definitely be back.

This is an amazing old hotel full of character. I love the bar and the lounge rooms and the dinning room. A great place to relax and drink cocktails.

We stay here a lot. We love the Carrington. The hotel is beautiful. Our room was a little disappointing, a bit tired. But still clean and nice. Everything was great but the staff in the bar are rude and hostile. We have never experienced this at the carrington before. The rest of the staff were fantastic. One girl in particular with long brown hair and a face like a slapped bottom. She needs to smile, learn how to speak to customers and become friendly.

It was a wonderful stay in a building of such charm and character. Only disappointment was the wet weather, and lack of undercover access. Hopefully the next time we come it will be fine weather.
