The property is superb, the owners are gorgeous people you feel like part of the family. I was staying in one night and a delicious home cooked roast was offered. You don’t get that from many places. A delicious cooked breakfast every morning, the best Bircher muesli I’ve ever had. Love the place I have made it my stay place whenever I’m in Tasmania.

A beautiful relaxing old world Inn. My room was amazing, beautifully appointed antique furniture and nic naks . Very comfortable bed with quality bedding. Lovely place to stay. The garden was a haven to sit and read or just take in the ambience. Breakfast was delicious with home grown ingredients. Loved every minute.

We enjoyed everything about this hotel, in particular, the exceptional hospitality of the hosts. Our room was quiet, exceptionally clean and comfortable, and lacked for nothing. Each day we were served a tasty breakfast in a stunning dining room with a roaring fire, and nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. We were made to feel more like family than guests. I would heartily recommend this hotel to anyone.

A gem

This place is amazing - great hosts, fantastic breakfast (the best I think we've ever had), lovely rooms and a good quiet location. The breakfast room is worth a visit - vaulted ceiling, large fireplace, comfortable couches... We'll definitely be back.

Loved staying at the Racecourse Inn, couldn’t have chosen a better place. The hosts were so lovely making us feel right at home. Awesome breaky with cold & hot selections. Lovely veggie garden in the back yard along with 2 well fed sheep & chickens. The room was well appointed with a good shower. However the free wifi was a little slow but don’t let that put you off. Highly recommended!

Delightful find just outside Launceston

This is a real gem. An historic building in farming Tasmania but only 15 mins or so from central Launceston. On the outskirts of Longford, it was quiet at night. Good bed, the room had everything we needed with many thoughtful touches. With double glazing and aircon, the occasional traffic on the main road was not an issue at all even to me, a light sleeper. Breakfast was really excellent too - set us up for the whole day ahead. The Inn has been very sensitively restored by the Hosts with a real artistic eye. How lovely to have such fresh locally sourced food, fresh cut flowers from the garden, and excellent advice for eating in the evening. We wish we had booked more thank one night.

Friendly staff lovely old building

This lovely old building in situated amongst a beautiful english garden. We were welcomed at the front door by three little birds whose mother had decided to build a nest right next to the front door. It is a lovely place to stay if you happen to stop in Longford in your travels. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the building has a country / homely feel to it. The rooms are bright and airy, ideally suited to a summertime stay. Breakfast was plentiful and cooked to order. Great way to start the day.

Hospitality Plus

Wonderful stay in a wonderful B&B. Worth every cent. Most hospitable hosts, friendly, helpful, informative, welcoming , faultless. Great service. Only place to stay in the town of Longford. Great breakfasts, with great local produce and providence. Will be back there again. A reason why Tasmania is such a great destination. Good proximity to Launceston and north east and the north west coast.

A heritage itself, but refreshed and comfortable

Longford itself is a heritage town adorned with colonial style houses, with Racecourse being one of them. The building style, the design and furniture retain all that classical touch, so an Jane Austen fan like me would literally fall in love with the place, but the hosts have freshended up the place to make it clean and comfortable to stay in for everyone. Not lacking in any modern comforts, not to mention the Port wine, cookies and jelly beans that were a part of the wonderful hospitality. Not to forget the garden, 2 baby lambs, and the chicken that are adorable. An absolute recommendation if you are visiting Woomer’s Estate & Brickendon farm, or even if you are just stopping over for a night when driving across from the east coast to Cradle Mountain like us.
