Lancemore Milawa

Loved the breakfast and location. Very nice area to visit. Some traffic noise in the morning. Would be happy to stay again

Recently stayed at Lancemore for 3 nights. It is well located to visit surrounding wineries, Milawa Cheese factory, mustard shop; and further afield, Myrtleford, Beechworth with its wonderful attractions, and Bright. Although Lancemore is very pleasantly situated among the vineyards, the hotel itself is bland, boring and monochrome. White walls, minimal art or colour, negligible room decoration other than a couple of tiny, bemusing wall tiles and an odd little piece of curved metal. We visited the Beechworth Goal, and the corridors of Lancemore had a lot in common with those in the Goal. The restaurant is overpriced, the pulled lamb was dry, and the presentation colourless and unappealing. Breakfasts were reasonable, and Julie was a standout for efficiency, friendliness and enthusiasm for the hotel and the local area, and with tourist recommendations. Other staff were quite disengaged, with limited greetings or friendliness. General cleanliness was fine, although there was an unpleasant smell from the basin. Ava’s restaurant in Milawa was exceptional, with highly skilled and attentive staff, and the pub meal was very pleasant and good value.

Birthday weekend. No water for shower barely a drip. Apparently they fixed it, however was still terrible. Meals at the restaurant were fresh but bland and overpriced. Bar fridge smells bad. Aircon remote battery is flat. The bed was quite comfortable though. Not worth the $440pn in my view. Good meals at the hotel in Main Street. Room 35!
