Perfect for what we needed for a 2 night stay. Stunning view and parking bay were pluses albeit quite a steep slope, which wasn't an issue for us. Good value for money

This is my favourite place to stay in Launceston. Lovely rooms, sensational showers, friendly staff & great location. You do need to know it is on a hill & a steep walk, but for me that's part of the beauty of staying here.
