Cute
Cute place. Very little cottage (we we’re at the garden cottage) Cute design, I wasn’t very connected to the historical part.. for me it was just old and small. Very nice hosting, the communication via phone.

I stayed in the garden cottage and would stay again. Basic essentials are covered, though the building is obviously very old and is in need of some TLC.

The hosts have thought of everything! Beautiful historical home, yet with all the mod cons. Best shower ever and the spa bath was wonderful after tiring days walking. Beds were comfy and plenty of extra blankets and portable heating to move about for those cold Tassie nights. Main heater was rather lpud n rattly but worked well to keep us snug n warm 🙂

I was in a Loft Room witch was great had queen size bed & had great spacious areas to roam about in the room but unfortunetally the steps was steep & unsafe for people with bigger feet & had to go down sideways on the going downstairs trips & Im at tall person was hitting the ceiling from the angle of the heritage building was made also had to duck under the bathroom doorway & had to sit on the toilet most times but didnt mind the uniqueness of the building with the Telephone (Book Library) Booth & the Paintings & Cross Stitch work was hanging in the rooms was a nice touch to the place

A unique historic property which had all the modern comforts. I was given a free upgrade which was much appreciated. The breakfast provisions were VERY generous, catering to different tastes. The steep staircase could present a problem but I was made aware of it before I agreed to the upgrade.

A great experience
Stayed in the cottage for 2 nights. The whole experience was well above what I was expecting. The service and greeting upon check-in was excellent and the cottage is very cosy and clean. A breakfast basket filled with lots of different things is also supplied and topped up for every morning. Would definitely stay here again if I was in the area.

I cannot speak highly enough about the 2 owners of Sorell Barrack - very caring are Tracey + Chico; nothing is too much trouble, the rooms are beautifully laid out, especially if you like antiques. Great breakfast laid on, spa suite wonderful . We come back often and there are very good reasons for this.Cheers Cate and Ray

Conveniently located near Hobart Airport, it suited us well for a one night stay. Our late arrival meant that one of our hosts had to wait up for us (and greeted us cheerfully) which we greatly appreciated. The old fashioned-ness of the room fitted with the historical surrounds, and although fairly small, the self-contained separate apartment was clean, comfortable and provided adequate amenities.
