Hunter Valley stay at Thistle Hill

Great spot to explore the Hunter Valley from. Beautiful grounds, great area to relax by the pool. Breakfast on site would have been fantastic or a breakfast basket in the room but other than that a perfect spot for a short break with our dog.

The stay itself was amazing however a slight misunderstanding with our booking. My stay was booked for the 18th of March to the 20th however Jo had it in her calendar for the 19th. We were still given a room however not the one we paid for Jo was very apologetic. The room we were given on the 19th was beautiful and lots of nice touches. Freshly baked biscuits, a cheese platter and wine.

Thistle Hill is set back from the road, and so peaceful. The owners Jo and John are genuinely friendly people. There was complimentary wine and cheese in the room, plus they brought a bottle of bubbly around as it was my birthday. The rooms were quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was included, and the perfect start to the day. The grounds were picturesque, and the pool refreshing. An absolute delight to stay there.
