Stayed at the Carrington again for a couple of nights. . .what a gem. It’s a beautiful faded lady with exquisite art deco public areas which are just delightful to be in -whether it’s the bar, the grand dining room or the tearoom. What a change from a bland chain hotel. Staff are great (the bar staff lack charisma) and the rooms are large but simple, ours was warm and stuffy and we couldn’t open the windows as they have been painted over (a small fix for your maintenance team). The hotel website boasts an al la carte breakfast but it doesn’t exist, just a pricey second rate buffet. Tip, pop over the road to the Tempus cafe for a great breakfast for half the price. Overall a great experience.

The hotel was lovely and going back to that Victorian bygone era was a wonderful experience. It was sad that on pur first night the fire alarm went off at 2:30 am and we had to venture out into very cold weather we were there in July. A disappointment was that we weren't informed that to compensate for the trouble the hotel coffered free breakfast to the guests affected. We only found out because we decided to have breakfast at the hotel after our second night check out when they told us the breakfast was on the house due to the inconvenience. Had we not decided to have breakfast at the hotel that morning we wouldn't have been the wiser.

This is the 3rd time staying at this hotel. We booked the Lady Carrington Suite and it was fantastic. Such a comfortable bed, nice and quiet and a great view of the mountains and town. For such an old hotel with so much history, it is kept in great condition. The staff are always friendly and inviting. Highly recommend.

Wonderful stay at the Carrington.

Wonderful stay at Carrington Hotel, regrettable only for 1 night. A special treat for myself and granddaughter. I came in late 1990's and it was almost derelict - wonderful to see it restored to it's former glory. Everything was perfect, ambience of public areas also made it memorable. Highly recommend a stay here, you won't regret it.
