My home away from home! I try and visit 2 - 3 times a year. Either solo or with my partner, I wouldn't stay anywhere else. The best location in town, yet just off the main drag and quiet. The Priory is a historic gem and a comfortable, friendly and generous place to stay. The shared facilities are kept immaculate and are so numerous that you will feel like they are your own private bathrooms most of the time. The family and staff are wonderful and should be congratulated and thanked for maintaining this treasure of Beechworth!

Firstly, on arrival I was given an envelope with 2 keys for 2 different rooms (3 and 4) when in fact as a solo traveler I only requested one room.Reported immediately to the manager who apologised and told me to stay in Room 3. Secondly, checked my Mastercard and found 2 equal charges of $89.77. First one by Expedia and the second by Hotels.combined a few days later???. Looks like I’ve been double charged for the same transaction. Thirdly, I hope to get a feed back from Hotels.combined soon with a solution as I have already informed Westpac Mastercard about disputing that transaction. Looking forward to to hearing from you Francisco Amorim

Very basic accommodation. Our room was tiny, without cupboard space, but okay for a single night stay. Shared bathrooms are clean and spacious, but would be frightfully cold in winter. The building, formerly a nun's convent and boarding school, has many curious features from a bygone era.

Beautiful old building, host was lovely. Make sure you book a room with en-suite as the shared facilities are just… breakfast room could be lovely but it felt like a dark dungeon or a school camp kitchen. Should be listed as hostel style accommodation. Great location and cheap so if all you need is a bed it’s a great.

The Priory was pretty much as expected. A little run down but nothing too bad. There are no check-in/reception staff - but everything is left ready for you. The bathrooms and room were clean but I would have benefitted from a mirror in the room so I wasn't hogging the bathroom doing my hair etc. however there didn't seem to be anyone waiting for a bathroom at any time.

We loved our stay at the beautiful Priory. We stayed in the two bedroom flat and it had everything we needed for a family weekend stay. It’s a very short walk to the main street, all shops and restaurants nearby as well as supermarket. We’d definitely stay here again!

Booked as it looked intriguing and from the photos looked nice. Very mistaken, hot with no aircon, bed smelt, shower had mould, couches stained and floors filthy. Gardens really untidy and grass knee high in areas. Probably why we saw a brown snake just after arriving. We tried to cancel the second night but the owner wouldn’t refund. Real shame as Beechworth is such a nice place and there were so many other places we could have stayed.

The miner's cottage is a motel-type room on the back of the priory; one of two. It was perfectly fine and the the old bath for the bottom of the shower was a lovely touch. There was an old fireplace in the room but not for use. Breakfast was in the priory; very simple cereals and white bread for toast. It was exactly what we needed, a reasonably priced room for one night.

Nice place but...
Had not spotted that the Chapel family room did not have its own bathroom or air-conditioning. I guess that is why the room was so affordable but the room needs better fans. Breakfast is very basic. Lovely building and very clean.

No attached bathrooms for rooms. Rooms are very small. Appreciate if you can upgrade to a proper B&B as it has to be done for your profits and long run.

A beautiful and unique place but we have had the worse night ever! The occupants of the apartment on the floor below us have us still awake with their music, children awake, thumps and bumps. We can also hear running in the hallway upstairs. We have to walk a distance to even the toilet. Regrettably would no be back!!!

Our stay was a short overnight visit so the dormitory room was more than adequate to meet our needs. Very clean & comfortable & surpringly warm considering the cold weather. Love value for money with the continental breakfast included. The historical building/area is well & truly worth a return visit to do it & the Beechworth town justice.
