Pros: The breakfast was good.
Cons: When I arrived, the owner claimed he did not receive the fax advising of my reservation for a double room. He first sent me to a twin room which had little space. After complaining, he moved me to a room with two twin beds and said he would push them together. He did not do that. Overall I was unimpressed with the accommodations.

Pros: The breakfast was delicious, and there was plenty to choose from, and generous portions. They had every kind of breakfast, a full Irish, a vegetarian option, a Continental breakfast, cold meats and cheese, fruit compote, prunes, lovely creamy yogurt, different cereals, porridge, brown and white toast, tea or coffee, different fruit juices, and the service was great. There was buffet service for the cold items, and waitress service for the hot items. My breakfasts really set me up for the day.

Pros: The property is more like a hotel than a B and B. I was lucky enough to be upgraded to a large room although I only booked a single. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast had a good choice of hot and cold dishes. The dining room overlooked the well kept garden. The staff were friendly and helpful. The property is a short walk into the CBD. A lovely place to stay.

Pros: We so enjoyed our stay at Gabriel House! We arrived very wet as we chose to walk in the rain from the train station which wasn’t one of our best decisions. However, when we arrived we were greeted by an absolutely wonderful person named Valerie. Even though we arrived in the morning and check-in wasn’t til the afternoon she showed us to our room. She also asked if she could dry our clothes and jackets for us. She then asked if we’d like coffee and tea to warm up. While sitting there she also offered us some amazing homemade shortbread. She went completely out of her way to bring a major ray of sunshine to our very wet rainy day. When I inquired about the possibilities of getting a room with a view of the city Valerie made it happen. She moved our luggage for us while we were out. Once again she went out of her way to make our stay absolutely wonderful. Once we were dried off and ready to move about for the day. Valerie had come back to see what our plans were. We told her we planned to hang at a brewery for a while til the rain cleared. She then offered to personally drop us off at the pub we were going to as she was headed out. The breakfast in the morning is absolutely wonderful and comes with another delightful lady. Gabriel House can really boast about having premier serviced for the people lucky enough to make the choice to stay with them. I’ll definitely be back and I highly recommend that you do as well!

A lovely place to stay.
Cons: The property is only a short walk from the CBD but it’s uphill! Dragging a large suitcase up the hill was slightly difficult as I’m not as young as I used to be. My lovely upgraded room was on the 3rd floor, which again was a bit of a struggle with a large suitcase. In saying this, I managed.
