Alice's Cottages

The property was exactly as advertised a typical English cottage that would not look out of place in any English village absolutely fantastic The service provided was excellent as were the free washing and drying facilities The Cataract Gorge which was a 15 minute walk was a fantastic find in the middle of a city photos below

The home away from home is the best way to describe this welcoming, warm, accomodating stay. We had the honour of staying in the Outlander cottage at Alices Cottages in Launceston for 6 days to begin our Honeymoon and honestly we were sad when we had to leave. We had the breakfast basket sent to us everyday while out exploring and couldnt wait to get up and prepare the large spreads we were normally use to. It was a perfect start to married life with a wonderful fully equipped kitchen and large fridge that we could duck to the shops and grab groceries for and make our own dinner every night together. This honestly is the most comfortable bed and set of pillows I have ever stayed in. The cottage is warm and cosy with the theme set out beautifully as I am a big fan of both the books and the show outlander, these guys nailed it. If your looking for true cottage core that feels like the show/books with the modern touches this is the stay for you. I loved the hot water bottles, that beautiful blanket on the bed, comfortable couch and the lovely places to sit and crochet quietly. To cap off our adventures we found ourselves longing to head back and have a long spa with the provided bubble bath and epsom rose scented salts that made each day perfect. It truly became a sanctuary from the energy spent in the morning and during the day heading out around launceston. There was minimal involvement from staff, with the self check in and being able to reach out via text rather then having awkward conversations on the phone or face to face encounters which was perfect for myself and my husband as we are both on the spectrum and this social interaction can be difficult for us both at times. Everyday our needs were catered for, rubbish taken away, fresh towles, cleaning and tidying. My husband enjoyed the port left out for us, having never tried port he found it was enjoyable having a nip of an evening while I settled myself with decorating their tree and even adding a second tree because I am very festive around christmas and the place didn't disapoint in this regard. There is also a fully equipped laundry and dryer. Laundry detergent is provided and when you head out and around the cottage to the laundry there is a quaint courtyard and garden that is beautiful to sit at with a little table and chairs if the weather is favourable. I only wish that we had chosen to book through their website directly and highly recommend that you do yourselves. This may have been due to the stress of our wedding and my husband using *********** because it was more convienient with all the stress of planning. Be careful however bringing a large vehical as the parking can be quiet close to other guests for this cottage and the french cottage. This honestly is a must do stay even if you are only in launceston for one night we could not highly recommend it more. It is an excellent experience and your time is guaranteed to be well spent here.

Charming, authentic, spacious yet cozy, clean and well appointed. We stayed in the Scottish themed cottage & were fully immersed in all things Scottish. The breakfast basket was amazing & filled with Tasmanian products. We were so impressed with the complimentary wine, beer, ginger ale, cheese & crackers. Check in was super easy. We just loved staying at Alice’s Cottages.

What a wonderful place to spend time in Launceston. Great location, wonderful accomodation, plenty of breakky items. The recommendations for things to do and places to eat were excellent. We would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a Launceston stay.

Great Cottage and very comfortable bed.Cottage is in a good location . Wonderful breakfast basket and lovely port provided . A great experience thank you . We appreciated the fact that it was traditional in manner but had the modern touches without losing the integrity of the Era .

Beautifully renovated cottages. Lots of space, extremely well set up with a particularly helpful guidebook. Really appreciated the free washing powder and access to a machine and dryer. Lovely location, quiet and interesting cottages all around.

An amazing little cottage in the heart of Launceston. Everything was catered for and there were also little extras to make your stay a bit special. Walking distance to restaurants and the city. I would highly recommend you stay at Alice's Cottages.

We first stayed at this lovely place about 20 years ago,(when it was called “The Shambles”) and absolutely loved it. On our latest trip we were excited to see the same place(different name) has been re-established and refurbished. The atmosphere is amazing, so many little details to find everywhere! And so clean, inviting and private. Easy to find, park and stay. We would recommend it to everyone. 10 out of 10! Thank you.

Everything was spot on. Breaky in fridge. Some classics for the dvd. Restaurants a short walk. Clean, comfy, tidy , cosy, fireplace for winter. A bath tub in the living room. What more do you want. Kitchen good. Bathroom lovely. Can't think of a single reason not to stay here
