Ardour Milton Park Bowral

"The Bowral area has long needed a great place to stay and a good restaurant on site and after many years of being run down it is great to see a refurbished Milton Park again offering this. The refurbishing has kept many of the "old" features of this grand old country hotel. The rooms are comfortable and inviting, the bar areas are great, and the restaurant is very good without being groundbreaking. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the gardens are interesting and inviting for a slow walk around. But there were a few issues that need addressing. Although the bathrooms are spacious, unfortunately our shower was very poor - the pressure from our rain shower was minimal (it leaked upwards) and the wall shower was fixed at below shoulder height - not helpful. The car parking was a good 100-200 metres away from the main door and there was no option for valet parking. Fortunately, the weather was dry on our visit, otherwise this would have been a disaster! Also, breakfast was a little disappointing. When breakfast is included in the tariff, you shouldn't have to pay an additional $15 for basic fried or poached eggs for example. So perhaps a few teething problems and worth returning."
