The hotel is an old building so don't expect the rooms to be modern...having said that there was everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable and warm and the included breakfast was more than adequate.
Check in was super easy.
Be aware that there is a flight of steps to go up to all rooms so if mobility is an issue this could be a little tricky
The bathrooms are shared but are close to all rooms and the showers were nice and hot.
Dinner at the bistro was delicious. Despite being above the pub it was very quiet.
Would recommend a stay. Quaint small town close to Grafton right on the river.

Check in was fine. Room was very basic, only 1 chair . We found an empty water bottle in the room fridge & what was listed as a continental breakfast served in the morning turned out to be some packets of cereal, milk, small tub of Yoghurt & an apple in our room. Apparently, their daily housekeeping does NOT include making the bed! Never had that before!
So, unfortunately, based on the expensive price we paid for a small room with not much in it & a shared bathroom, I don't rate this stay very favourably.

We loved everything about this hotel, the architecture and character, the food in the restaurant was delicious, the views along the river. The downside was our tiny room was in the middle of hotel and there was no airflow, if we opened a window it would only have opened on to the hallway as people walked past (and they were a bit noisy). The room was stuffy and couldn’t sleep. Everything else was perfect.

A beautiful hotel on the river offering DELICIOUS pub meals. The view was absolutely beautiful from our river front dining.

Though the room was just that, small and a single room, it was perfect for our stop over.

The bathrooms.... Now I expected small, dirty, dingey, water barely dripping shared bathrooms, but boy was I wrong! They were sparkling clean, the water pressure was PERFECT, just like a rain shower and the stalls were decently sized with plenty of room to get changed in a dry space afterwards.

Can definitely say that if we are doing another trip, this will be on the list again!

Tiny, noisy, overpriced but venue is well located.

Room 5 was tiny, not even a sidetable or room for a suitcase. No aurcon and surrounded by corridors. Noisy thru thin walls, the sounds of the pub till 9.30pm and a chiller init running all night. If it were half price it'd be ok, but for $129 a night youll be quieter and have more space sleeping in your car and thats sad. Not returning.

We booked this accommodation after reading the positive Wotif reviews and the $99 cost an incentive to stay at a Historic Hotel.
We are familiar with”Pubs with no frills and Share Facilities”and have enjoyed staying at other pubs - this time unfortunately we did not sleep with the inner hotel noises and the Verandah noise outside our room.
The Bathroom fittings are old and inconvenient to use - the bathrooms were clean.
The bedroom had a ceiling fan- ineffective on the hot night and no Air Conditioning/ no through air flow. No Washbasin/ no cupboard/ no hooks for clothing/ no chair/ no table and very small for a Queen Room.
The bed / mattress/ bed linen was comfortable and in good condition but as the room was so hot we could not appreciate this.
We enjoyed our dinner with excellent food at the onsite Restaurant and the beautiful evening views across the Clarence River.

Was surprised that our twin room was internal and so had no windows looking outside, but it had 3 windows all looking into the corridoors, including one window that was permanently jammed open so that anyone could climb in. So security was not great and the noise was disturbing, especially from the pub downstairs.

I would suggest avoiding rooms 5 and 6 (the internal rooms) if this was an issue for you.

A suggestion would be for the hotel to close the door between the pub and the accommodation to minimise noise and the security risk for the paying guests.

I think all the rooms facing onto the wrap around verandah would have enjoyed their rooms more, as they also appeared to be more spacious, except that it appears that smoking may be allowed on the upstairs verandah (as evidenced by an ashtray).

Our twin room was very small and had no table, but the beds were very comfortable with lovely linen and plump pillows.

Our room had no air con but a good fan; however I imagine it would be very warm in summer as it has no external opening window as I mentioned.
The room was very clean which is a big plus.

The shared bathrooms were clean with good water pressure but not many sinks.

Our room had a mini bar with one apple, several milk cartons and iced water. The included breakfast was a choice of several cereals. There is a kettle with choice of teas but no toaster. Lots of powerpoints and a tv.

Lovely cafe on the river downstairs in a quaint town with a lovely park nearby.

Beautiful Old Hotel in Ulmarra

We stayed at the Ulmarra Hotel on our way down and back travelling to see friends and found checkin was easy at the bar and straight forward. Room was adequate and linen clean with a breakfast included which was generous.
We ate at the restaurant and both times the meals were great. Wednesday and Thursday nights offered specials which included a glass of beer, wine or soft drink with a main for $20 which was fantastic.
We will definitely stop over again at this beautiful old Hotel. Definitely worth your time and price was good also.

I like staying at country pubs and this was one of the best. The Hotel has been renovated but kept in the taste of its origins. The toilets and showers are shared like most old pubs, they were unisex so there was no waiting whilst another was empty because no one of that sex was using it . I never had to wait at all. The room opened out onto the 2nd floor veranda and we had afternoon coffee and the complimentary, morning breakfast, listening and watching the birds in the trees. Walking the area was great and the Clarence River sensational. We had to climb one set of steep stairs to the rooms but that is normal for such pubs. The staff were bright and friendly, the food excellent with us taking advantage of the $20 steak/parma deal. Both were excellent and the mud cake for desert made for a rich meal. We loved the setting and the surrounds. Like all old pubs it had it's oddities but that is what makes them special. We will go again next time we travel this way.

Restaurant was also great with extensive lunch and dinner choices. My room was directly above the restaurant area but was extremely quiet.
