Rooms are beautiful and tastefully decorated. Bathrooms are a bit on the small side but other wise in room ammenities are ample. Breakfast was lovely and satisfying set in a gorgeous space with beautiful views. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. We would recommend to anyone wanting a beautiful Highlands weekend away.

This was a last minute booking and the staff were excellent, from check-in to dinning to check-out.
It’s a very cute place, worthy of many photos.
The food at the restaurant was great, it was hard to decide what to eat, but I had the prawn pasta.
Parking was easy at the back of the property, however if you’re not comfortable walking under the light of the moon, get dropped off at the front for check in.

The staff are very friendly.
Location: Links road is great for taking walks, it’s quiet and lined with charming country cottages and the golf course.
Property: the 6+ pot holes in the unpaved driveway are dangerous for guests vehicles, almost broke our front tyres. The garden is charming but lacks TLC, there’s only one tiny outdoor mat for the block of rooms, not enough for the rainy season. Outdoor furniture is old and uncomfortable. The library or sitting room is cosy and inviting with comfortable and clean furniture.
The two free Breakfast choices are healthy and sufficient.
Room: furniture is cheap and outdated, fridge compressor is noisy, mattress is too soft for me. Bathroom is small and barely big enough for only one person at a time which is inconvenient for a 2 person room (we are 5’3 and 5’10 both under 160lbs), bathroom sink (5”x8”) is tiny, couldn’t wash face without water splashing all over the floor, shower has no door so water splashing is inevitable. Tiny TV, and the worst of all, floor to floor dark color carpet.
We will not go back, it should be listed as 3 star, not 4.

The Keepers Cottage was found to be dark, cold and lacking the \"creature comforts\"we've come to expect as North Americans upon Check- In.ie no heat, no comfy chair +ottoman, no drawers to put clothes in, just a few hangers off a High Open Shelf, soft mattress AND an old ill-fitted door with no security - just a push button lock from the int door handle (?).
I found this inadequate and did not sleep well at all. No phone in room and no one available at Inn after 8 pm. Heater did not work appropriately, no insulation in cottage, hard to get hot water, and was awoken at 2 am by a loud thump\" on the roof - apparently Possums are noturnal animals that jump from trees in the middle of the night! It was all part of the unique ' Stralia experience. Felt like I was Camping, with some shelter but not much. If you like \"roughing it on vacation\" then the Keepers Cottage is for you!!

This is an old fashioned guesthouse type hotel.
The grounds are lovely.
The common areas are appealing and very welcoming. Staff are friendly.

The rooms are rather basic.
Smart bathrooms but they clearly have a drainage issue....some quite unpleasant smells which didn't fade.

This is just an okay, slightly quirky option.
not worth the premium price point but if you can get a good deal, worth a look.

We have stayed at Links a few times before. It used to be a beautiful place with lovely grounds and special touches. It is disappointing that the outdoor areas now look rather unkept with old and dirty furniture. The lounge is lovely but it was very cold & the fire would have been nice. Our room was also cold & the advertised central heating didn’t work. For the price, we felt the renovated room was not very comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were nice but the service could be improved.

We had left the room after breakfast around 9.30 and returned around 1.15pm.We had left the tag on the door to have the room cleaned. This was not done. We had to use the room to dress up as we were attending a wedding. The cleaner was advised by the supervisor to clean the room while we dressed up. She was at the door with the cleaner. We were told that if this was done now then the room will not be cleaned. We had no choice. The cleaner spent 5mins to make the bed and replace the towels .The bin was not emptied nor the tea cups replaced. They had been used that morning to drink tea. Not a good experience.

Overall would absolutely come back. Room was clean and beautiful, and good value for money.

This is a charming older style boutique hotel. Rooms are small and en-suite tiny, but functional. The cooked breakfast is very generous with eggs cooked perfectly to our order. The open fire in the lounge is a very welcoming sight when we returned each day and was a great place to meet and get to know other guests. Megan who is either the owner or manager is charming and seems to be able to remain totally calm during what I suspect is the hectic breakfast serve period. I would question whether short term guests like us need an ironing board and iron in the room and would prefer to see some shelves in the wardrobe to allow our small bags to be unpacked. This last point seems to be the same for all hotels in the area so not meant as a criticism of Links House. Having checked out some other options in the area for future visits, nothing comes close to matching the friendly atmosphere here. Will definitely stay here whenever we come back to Bowral

Rated 4 star because rooms are not sound proof at all (we were woken middle of night by screaming child) then again about 4am onwards by same family and shower was pretty dodgy and impossible to have a full length hot shower kept changing to cold!

I would stay again in the hopes that we were unlucky with the noisy people next door!

This is an older style accommodation facility. The Manager ( Megan), was outstanding in supporting us during our stay( with pet dog)
The room was very clean, however, there was no shower screen door, or curtain, hence was difficult to keep the bathroom floor dry. And, perhaps a small ( collapsible) table for those who wish to dine in their room.
Would I stay there again ... for sure.

The concierge staff member on arrival was friendly and professional. Our room was meticulously clean, small but sufficient for a short stay. Our room was the closest to the sitting/bar/dinning rooms, it was noisy at times with lots of thoroughfare, with people coming in and out of the door leading to these rooms, which was right next to our door.
We were however charged by the property on top of Wotif who we had booked & paid through. Unfortunately this caused my credit card account to be suspended due to investigation for a fraudulent/unauthorised transaction. It might seem like a small error on behalf of the accommodation site, however the repercussion is going to take weeks to rectify as my account was suspended.
