Nice little touches and attention to detail. Comfy Bed, Good heating.
Parking a bit tight, but we parked ok.
Great restaurant/pub across the road.
Walkable to main street, but beware of distance if you want easy walkable access to everything.

Great foodie pub over the road “The Farmers Arms”, handy walk to the Sunday Farmers Market, a nice stroll to town via the Convent, and a good loop walk around the lake. Very comfortable, easy parking and a great base for exploring the region.

Rooms are lovely, spacious, and clean. Only problem was someone parked in my spot so I had to park on the street. Hotel is close to everything and the pub is across the road.

This is a lovely motel. Tastefully decorated with a super comfortable bed, modern bathroom and luxury toiletries. We had excellent food at the Farmer's Arms, just opposite and also Cliffy's down the road. Highly recommend the Daylesfors Art motel.

A small motel, with convenient parking outside your room. The room was small but not cramped, it was fresh and modern, bed comfortable and everything clean. Check in was contactless, through using a code for a key safe on the outside entry door and the system worked well. I would stay again.

We loved the comfortable king bed and roomy shower with great water pressure!
There were some lovely treats and water supplied complementary which was very nice.
Only one thing missing was a shower cap being supplied as the shower was an overhead shower.
Will definitely return whenever we visit Daylesford again.

The only reason I marked staff and service with a 4/5 was because there is no reception. I travelled with my Mum. It's all online. That was fine for me, but if my Mum was on her own it would have been an issue. Excellent place to stay and would definitely stay again.

It was all very easy going from the beginning. Check in and check out was simple, easy to understand and all round just straight forward. Leading up to the day the reception were very helpful with their responses to my enquiries and also very quick to reply back to me. The motel its self was beautiful! Huge king bed, such a luxury and the bathroom was stunning, clean, modern and another luxury of a big shower. I liked the motel because it didn’t feel like a ‘normal motel’ very clean, comfortable and unique. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a self service check in motel. It has everything you need with some treats provided in the room. It was clean, quiet and convenient for my needs as an overnight mid week stop over.
Other motels should use this place as an example on how to exceed customer expectations.
I would stay here time and time again as they have got it right in the motel sector. Well done to everyone involved to keeping this place so simple but sophisticated in every aspect.

Not sure exactly how this is classed as a 4.5 star accommodation on Wotif? It’s basically a freshly painted glorified roadside motel. Comfortable for a sleep if you aren’t expecting anything special. Calling yourself a Hotel though is just plain lying.
It’s a 2.5-3 star Motel at best.
Disappointed.

The only down side to our visit was the fact that you have to check in at the Farmer's Arms Hotel, whereas the accommodation is across the road. The hotel was full of Saturday evening drinkers and diners and so 'checking in' is a question of catching the eye of one of the staff who knows about the accommodation.

The Property appeared to be quite new. it was very clean and tidy. However we felt it was poorly furnished as it lacked a table and chair to sit at. The minny bar was free however the offing was quite small and not restocked after our first night. The room was more of an old style motel not a hotel. Big picture I did not think it was value for money.

Shut out

We chose this place based on being able to dine at the Farmers Arms hotel opposite. (It’s a good meal normally). I know everyone is still recovering from CoVid BUT the pub is now closed 2 days per week - when we were there - so we were a long way from town without a reason to be out there. WiFi didn’t work either but there was no-one to speak to about it. Anyway the moral of the story is to check that the pub is open before booking the accommodation across the road. Hope they can soon get back to the 7 days a week status they advertise. Best wishes.

Great country pub with stylish accommodation

Modern roomy motel rooms with an excellent spacious en-suite with rainwater shower head. Check in at the hotel opposite was seamless with a nice welcome arrival kit complete with key, pen, paper and local tourism brochures. The mini bar is well stocked and complimentary. Whilst on the main road the rooms are well sound proofed with black out curtains. Dinner at the hotel is a must, it has a great country pub atmosphere, with great food. The best eye fillet steak I have had in a pub / restaurant in quite a while. Will be returning.
