I stayed here for a couple of nights in August 2009 as was travelling by myself and thought it looked like a really homely place to stay. The single room is really cute and loved the tea in bed in the morning! The area that Ardmore House (Newtown) is in is not right in the middle of Sydney's action but... more

My husband and I spent 3 glorious days at the B&B with Peter and Declan. The breakfasts, the tours of Sydney, the hospitality, the friendliness of the pub acroos the street..We felt like part of the family community. We also were able to witness the first red dust storm in 70 years..Which Peter was able to explain. Should you be... more

The Ardmore House is a beautiful B&B in Sydney's inner suburb of Newtown. The owners, Peter and Declan, could not have been more welcoming (resident dog Tara, also!). My husband and I stayed at Ardmore House at the beginning (in late August) and end of a recent trip to Australia, and look forward to returning. Peter supplied us with information... more

I was duly fetched by Peter & Declan at the airport, And greeted by Tara with a waggling tail at home. Hardly settled, I was presented with a 2-day ticket: Leftover of my ‘forerunner’, according to Peter, Who then took me out for a get-to-know-the-area walk, And we landed at Jo’s Pie (?) to sip tea and savour pies. Tea... more

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
