Hotel Alice's Cottages and Spa Hideaways (Launceston, Australia)

The proprietors of these cottages and villa-style living units truly know how to make you feel welcome, and do everything in their power to ensure the best experience possible. They personally contact you about any issues, go out of their way to implement special requests, and have genuine smiles while interacting with guests.

The theme for each cottage is charming and full of life, with the Scottish and Welsh cottages receiving special praise most often. The living spaces are packed with artwork, design choices, and activities that recall both the history and culture of the intended theme.

The property is serene and lush, with stretches of woodland, garden, and manicured estate grounds open to you and fellow guests. If you're looking to pick up supplies or dine out, you can take an easily accessible road into Launceston's centre.

Numerous guests were displeased with the property's designated check-out deadline, which may not leave ample time for eating breakfast, taking a last stroll around the premises, or sleeping in. If your heart is set on a late check-out, contact the property well in advance and place a request.

While the nearby road isn't used as a major motorway, it's still subject to passing motorists at random hours of morning and evening. This is mainly an issue if your cottage is near the road, and you're sensitive to noise.

The towel quality is average, but their dimensions make it difficult to dry off after a shower or spa bath. This is more of an inconvenience than a pressing issue, but you may still want to bring your own towels if you foresee an issue.
