Absolutely perfect B&B. An original B&B in that you get a very comfortable bed & delicious cooked brekky! And you get to interact with the host. Chris was an excellent delight as were her adorable dogs. Great stories to tell & great recommendations for where to eat within walking distance to town. Very comfortable inside our private garden suite c/w fridge, tea, plunger coffee, fresh milk, & an excellent outdoor garden area for us & our boisterous Kelpie. Safe country suburban streets for that morning dog walk. PLUS special treats for all - humans & canines!

We loved our stay in every way! Chris was so welcoming and helpful from the moment she confirmed our booking to saying our reluctant goodbyes. We stayed in the Garden Suite which was cosy with pretty decor and some lovely touches such as hand cream and fabulous bath salts to enjoy in the beautiful claw foot bath. It was an easy walk into town, and also to Jones and De Bortoli wineries. We absolutely loved Chris and Charlie's gorgeous dogs! We don't have a dog ourselves but really enjoyed all the attention from their five adorable fur babies. Chris cooked up a delicious breakfast of Eggs Benedict, served in a beautiful dining room, and we enjoyed our long and engaging chats with Chris. We hope to be able to visit again! Thanks Chris, Charlie and pups.

Chris has a unique adventure awaiting any guests. Her attention is personal to each guest and the venue is enthralling. I won't ruin it for future guests but Chris has fabulous tales to tell of the Old Globe Hotel which is now Must Love Dogs B & B. And has it been mentioned? Dogs are very much loved here, Chris is a Rescue "Hero" and is deservong of all plaudits that are given her.

Chris was a lovely host, we felt right at home upon arrival (especially our fur baby!). Super cute cottage, close to town and Chris arranged dinner for us at Taste restaurant which was fabulous. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We’ll be back.
