As a frequent Daylesford visitor, I like the convenience and central location of this hotel. As it is located above a pub, noise is always a concern but is as expected.

We loved the central location of the hotel. The room was spacious and clean. Just a bit noisy overnight but I suppose it’s to be expected when you’re on the main road.
Would definitely recommend
