An amazing step back in time. Simply wonderful.

Ashton Gate B & B is a grand old home built in a grand style overlooking and close to Launceston's CBD. Large comfortable rooms with a charm and atmosphere to dream of. Very relaxing and just wonderful hosts. Can thoroughly recommend it as a place to stay and relax.

Wonderful relaxing and friendly

We planned to stay 2 days but added an extra day because we were so relaxed. Launceston is a wonderfully welcoming city with amazing restaurants and friendly people. Ashton Gate was the best place to rest and recuperate after a day of exploring. The guests lounge with its complimentary sherry was a bonus along with the delicious cooked breakfast each morning. The owners were helpful and a source of local advice. Would happily stay again.

Just bed no breakfast

Not to happy with my stay at Ashton gate. Firstly we received no breakfast even though we had fully paid in advanced for bed and breakfast. Apparently no one has ever left early for the spirit of Tasmania before. Fair enough if you don't want to get up and cook before 6:30, but you could at least supply cereal or toast we can do ourselves. Secondly not that its a huge deal in comparison but our toiletries were already used previously. Its not hard to change them and put fresh ones out when they are only about 15ml to begin with. Conclusion not value for money when your not getting what you have paid for.

Beautiful old house that was built in the 18 hundreds, very warm and cosy. They have done an excellent job, you felt like you had gone back in time. breakfast was supplied which was good and got you off to a good start. Hope to stop there again next time we are in launceston

Pleasant, but a little dated in terms of decor. Owner presented as less than enthusiastic. Property for sale, perhaps this explains the attitude. Parking at the front of the property, but not on site (not secure)

Absolutely lovely stay

My Mum and I stayed here for a quick stop over in Launceston and absolutely loved it! The house had so much character and the host was so welcoming and inviting. Great central location, service and delicious home cooked breakfast in the morning. Would definitely recommend this to friends staying in Launceston!

A gem - Prettiest B&B in Launceston

Hosts Craig and Shannon were fabulous. Warm friendly welcome, a delicious complimentary breakfast, and loads of local tips. Every restaurant and attraction they recommended was spot on. A great home cooked brekky is provided every morningbetween 8 and 9 am. The home made bread, and apricot jam using apricots fresh from their tree are a treat to look forward to. After dinner we would come home to a port or wine in the cosy guest lounge and exchange stories with other guests. The building and gardens are immaculately maintained, spotlessly clean and pretty as a postcard. My husband and I stayed in the lovely spacious David room (which is actually 4 rooms - bed, lounge, bathroom and separate toilet) and will definitely stay at Ashton gate on our next visit to Launceston.
