We had a fantastic stay in the huge garden suite.. Beautiful self contained suite at the back of the hotel.. Love the gorgeous gardens, water fountain and heritage hotel.. Hotel does need some rejuvenation and we found our bed not to be so comfortable for us.. Amazing reception staff.. We didn’t have breakfast here so cannot comment but limited choices on what I read on their website.. I would like more choice or a breakfast buffet is always wonderful..

We stayed in the Convent for our 30th Wedding Anniversary Sam on the reception desk doubles as the waiter for breakfast. Vicki gave us glasses of champagne to celebrate by the fire. My great grandfather designed The Convent when it was owned by the Brigidine Nuns in Coonamble. The hotel has recently been purchased by Spicers Guesthouse and there are plans to upgrade the dated bathrooms and carry out long over due maintenance on the building.

The grounds of the convent are beautiful and the drive up the entrance really is amazing. The rooms are rustic and beautiful, however they are in need of a touch up to restore some of the original charm. Paint is peeling off, cracked tiles, etc. Also our bed was really uncomfortable as there was a hard bit in the middle (I assume where the two king single beds met). But apart from this we loved the convent. It’s just not quite there, but it definitely has the potential. Also, the coffee machine wasn’t working when we were there which put a bit of a dampener on the breaky as it was quite a long wait. But we understand these things happen.

This gorgeous building is let down by a single staff member doing his best to serve everyone at reception and the dining room (and explain that the coffee machine was broken). Our garden suite had black mould growing on the bathroom ceiling, a very poor shower and no power points bedside. I fear this beauty may be passed her use by date.

Very disappointing stay, mould on the ceiling in bathroom bath was not connected to plumbing.
Service was appalling, we booked high tea at cafe 88 inside the convent the food was atrocious. Very much gone down hill won’t be back. Very overpriced!

Absolutely gorgeous, great hotel, wonderful staff. I was with my elderly mother and the room was perfect, with walk in shower.

The Convent is located in a great spot, very central. It’s a lovely old building, comfy beds. The bathroom had a very high bath, would be hard for some people to climb into it to use the shower. The restaurant was closed as we were there Monday night, in fact a lot of places closed Mondays.

Lovely hotel with tastefully decorated room, bathroom let it down being old and a tall bath difficult to climb in and out of for a shower. We stayed on a Monday and Tuesday night as it was my husbands birthday, unfortunately the restaurant (circa 1876) at the end of the drive was closed Mondays but we enjoyed dining there on the Tuesday night. Breakfast was served outside (under cover) it was rather too large for me but excellent. There are lovely balconies (shared by a few rooms) which are a nice place to sit and read. There is a small outdoor pool and tennis court.
