Great place: the room isn't just nice, it's friendly and homely, Peter and Declan aren't just friendly, they're focussed on your happiness, on fun and on informed conversation. When I booked, I wondered only about one thing: how long will the "15 min to CBD" really take. Well, obviously more than the 15' you're on the train, but not more... more

Whether on your annual holidays or a world tour, places you stay seem to meld one into the other when you reflect on your travels. It takes something extraordinary to make a place live on in your mind; Ardmore House and your hosts Peter and Declan (not forgetting Tara the dog) have truly lived up to this description. The welcome... more

We went to Ardmore House in May, 2008 and had a wonderful stay. Declan and Peter were both interesting and very welcoming, as was the third member of the family, a Golden Lab named Tara. Every day started off with a tea service brought directly to the room, followed shortly after by breakfast in the main dining room downstairs. Breakfast... more

My wife and I stayed 4 nights at Ardmore House back in September. We appreciated the airport pick-up (great value as we hadn’t fully appreciated that the $50 covered both arrival and departure!) and even more the friendly and personal welcome we had from Peter and Declan. We agree with all that many other reviewers have said about the outstanding... more

It was a delight to stay at Ardmore House. The gracious hosts, Declan and Peter, treat their guests with extra care and consideration, within a relaxed atmosphere. The high rating of Ardmore House and the positive reviews, full of superlatives, are well deserved. I recently stayed for four days in the single room. It was so comfortable I wanted to... more

Declan, Peter and Tara could not have been better hosts. I felt like I was staying with much loved relatives, who treated me to great conversation, tasty breakfasts (best scrambled eggs), and a very comfortable bedroom. Not to mention the champagne breakfast I was delighted to wake up to on my birthday:-) I'll definitely be going back. And I suspect... more

Declan and Peter were friendly hosts who made sure that our long weekend was relaxed and comfortable. Peter kept us entertained with stories of his operatic career and Declan looked after our stomachs with the most delightful breakfasts. (Loved the zucchini fritters!) We felt like we were part of the family without feeling that we were intruded upon. We appreciated... more

Peter and Declan couldn't have been nicer to us (me, my husband, and my brother) throughout our 5 day stay! Their pickup service at the airport made a big difference to tired travelers, Declan's breakfasts were unsurpassed (zucchini frittata, eggs benedict), and we were generally treated as old friends visiting. We celebrated my birthday while we were at Ardmore House... more

Wonderful Stay at Sydney and thank you so much to Declan and Peter who look after me like their daughter. The breakfast were INCREDIBLE and DELICIOUS. The house very warmful and welcoming. Every thing was really perfect and the flowers in the room too too much!!! more
