Lovely couple run the place. Beautiful breakfast. Parking is at rear, bit tricky to find at first. Rooms are comfortable and was the bed. Big bathroom. Floors and stairs are creaky so it was good nobody happened to come in and out late!

Cute and cosy 

In a great location in Launceston, free parking and wifi, lovely breakfast served up, local map provided complete with suggested walking route, explanation given of local places to visit, would stay again

Lovely B&B, great location

We booked this accommodation at the last minute after arriving into launceston on a rainy night which wasn’t good for camping! Chose this place as it looked quite charming, offered breakfast included for a reasonable price. It took a little while to find as google maps takes you too far down York St, but we found it after about 10 minutes. Once arrived, George stayed up and greeted us and showed us to our room. There are 6 guest rooms, we had number 5. Very pleasantly decorated, with a separate bathroom, tea and coffee facilities and heating. The bed was a bit creepy but didn’t interfere with our sleep. Breakfast in the morning was very pleasant, was great to meet others traveling around Tassie and had George cook us brekky (eggs and tomato), cereal and fruit are also on offer. This property is for sale as George and his wife are getting old, hopefully the next owners will continue the charm of this little gem! 

Great little find! Great Tassie Character and charm! 

An older couple run this B&B just walking distance to the CBD. Older building, very charming. Stop and smell the roses in the front garden!! Great location and comfy room. Communal breakfast dining room with homely touches and gracious hosts. Showerhead in room 1 a bit dodgy but bed comfortable and room cozy. 

B&B Friendly

There’s parking at the rear of the property easy access.   The place is very handy to the centre of town and it’s a short walk down from the back of the b&b to all sights restaurants and pubs.   It’s an uphill walk back but not so bad.   The house is obviously old but has been done up well for accommodation with the reception and breakfast room downstairs and the rooms up a short flight of stairs. 2 rooms downstairs for those less mobile.  The hosts are wonderful and a font of knowledge about Launceston and Tasmania in general. The rooms are comfortable and there is a heater in the room for those cold nights.   Breakfast is varied with cereals toast fruit and a cooked breakfast for those that prefer.  It is a large communal breakfast table which encourages interaction between guests.

Centrally located b&b in Launceston with charming hosts David and Fiona.

I keep thinking the proprietor's name is George but I can't recall, but he is SO nice and pleasant. The B&B is a bit old and not the cleanest, but his charm and conversation more than made up for it. Our breakfast in the morning and chat with him was one of the highlights of our trip to Tasmania. Wish we could spend more time chatting!

Wonderful host!

After reading TA reviews and researching the area,we booked this B&B for 2 nights stay,during our trip around Tassie. The hosts are friendly & quite elderly. We felt they have perhaps lost their passion for the industry & it was told to us,that selling the B&B is on the cards. TA reviews are subjective & with all due respect to the owners,this review is an honest renditiin of our time spent there & supported by pics too.
Our room was up a narrow creaking staircase,in a high ceiling blank walled room. It had a musty old smell with no natural light except for the adjoining small sitting area window. Note the 2 chairs have past there use by date & quite stained. Note,there is no table. The really small tea/coffee station is in the cutout part of the cupboard. Note,there is NO fridge in the room,however,there is a shared fridge at the end of the corridor. The wooden bed is old,creaky & has a very firm mattress. We did not sleep well & woke with sore back & neck. There is alot of dust & cracks behind furniture etc. The wifi is strong & tv reception is good & there is a good heater in the wall. The bathroom is very basic & not alot of bench space. The shower is not very good. The towels are  hard & crunchy & not pleasant to dry yourself with. There are no hand towels provided.
Breakfast was very basic & not very well done. Sad to say,we just could not stay & paid for the 1 night & said farewell,we needed to move on. At $140per night,we felt we could do bette & have a much better experience elsewhere & we have for $123...but that will be a seperate review. Thanks for reading this long review.

Disappointing

I had booked a room last month for Hi George through the hotels.com site and I paid for it in full and it was confirmed immediately.
Upon arrival we were informed that my booking was cancelled,which was definitely  not the case.It was still active on my hotels.com site.
We were very upset and angry as we knew that  accommodation in Launceston was heavily booked this particular  weekend.
The owner said that he saw my original booking but also recalled that he saw an email cancelling our accommodation.
Upon me inquiring about this email the owner could not locate it,very interesting  indeed!! There were no more rooms available.
I rang hotels.com who were very helpful attempting to find us alternative accommodation,which they were not successful in finding.They are refunding our money in full.
Fortunately,friends came to our rescue and we are staying with them for the duration of our stay.
This experience was most upsetting and certainly should not have occurred and the booking site I used was not at fault in anyway.
