Sorell Barracks

We stayed at the Garden Cottage and loved it! Close to Hobart airport and Richmond, so good for a first or last stop.

We had a lovely stay at Sorell Barracks. Very cosy handy to Hobart and surrounds. Had everything we needed.

Lovely and cozy. Nice comfortable bed. Great shower. Very well maintained. Appreciated the gift basket.

A wonderful historic place to stay.so tastefully done to enhance the era.
I would definitely recommend a stay here

SO CHARMING! We were looking at staying at historic sites while in Tasmania, and this one exceeded our expectations!
For a month's stay, it wouldn't serve but for a short stop it was DELIGHTFUL! So well laid out, with so many details that showcased the era and reminded us of Nana and time past. The willow pattern dishes, the chamber pot, and the embroidered chair were lovely. But the best part is the way the modern conveniences were also there - a wonderfully complete bathroom, plenty of power points, and lights. Snuggling on the sofa, and being able to watch a movie (using an HTML cable we brought) was tremendously relaxing, plus listening to the rain pitter-patter on the roof reminded me of childhood. So lovely!
The stairs were steep and narrow, but as long as we didn't have to climb them days on end, everything else was perfect!

We really appreciate the professional and kind customer service that was provided by Terry and Lynn in the Barracks. We had the most wonderful stay, and really appreciated the detail and care with which this historical setting is being offered as an experience for customers. Our children loved playing in the beautiful gardens, and we felt as part of a very special place that made our Tasmanian experience exceptional and memorable. Thank you to Terry and Lynn for all your efforts.

I've stayed at the Barracks 3 times now and I will always come back. It's super clean, the owners Terry and Lynn are lovely and each accommodation is well equipped, cosy, affordable and feels just like home. Handy to the airport, great start point to the east coast and tasman peninsula and short walk to Sorells main St. Highly recommend!

Spent 2 nights in the top storey apartment / loft of these barracks built in 1827. Beautifully furnished with historic furniture and fittings.
Well appointed, warm and very friendly feeling throughout.
Hosts friendly and helpful with local guidance. Great location to visit historic Richmond and Port Arthur.
Watch the steep stairs after a couple.

Wonderful. Phoned to book short notice and from the first interaction they were fantastic. It's picture postcard beautiful from the outside, and the rooms are done up beautifully to match. I would definitely stay here again, after spending two nights in two separate rooms. Highly recommend.

The only (very slight) negative was that my second room didn't have a HD TV tuner, so it limited quite significantly the tv options. But it was really only a very slight negative and wouldn't stop me from giving them 5 stars.

Such an incredible piece of history you can stay in. The rooms are small, but don't feel cramped. It's what you'd imagine a "cosy cottage" to be. The owners are extremely generous with a complementary treat and breakfast basket, which really adds to the charm. They also include a history book for the officers barracks. Really incredible, absolutely worth staying here. Both hobart and the airport are extremely close too!

Terry was simply sensational. Thank you for a wonderful stay and see you in three weeks. Highly recommend this stay.

What a lovely accommodation! Just check in and surprised by the lovely pastoral style room and a hand-writing letter by host and a full complimentary welcome basket with snacks. Especially the hand writing letter make me feel so warm after a long cold journey️Thank you so much Terry and Lynn!

Our room was fantastic couldn't fault it on such a miserable night. The goodies basket was so unexpected but very welcome. The description of our room was as it is on the website. The heater kept us very warm. My hubby left his phone in the room and our hosts who live on site were happy to come out to let him back in to retrieve it.

My wife has stayed here before as her parents live in Sorell. We had the small cottage and it was lovely for a couple. My wife previously stayed in the larger rooms with my son, daughter and her fiance. The rooms are cosy, clean and functional. We will definitely book again. The breakfast basket was also a treat.

Everything was perfect. They were very fast and helpful when I sent enquiries by emails, and the garden cottage I booked was lovely. Very cosy, cute and comfortable. And they had a lovely welcome basket which I felt was so thoughtful. It was close to the airport, and very peaceful. I will definitely book again.

Brilliant. Amazing. Damn we're only here for one night. Certainly be back. Historic, beautiful rooms and surrounds. Derek polite and friendly. Good sized continental breakfast basket. Walk to everything in Sorell. Gorgeous little village. Will be back!

Clean comfortable well-equipped but small rooms. Dodgy TV reception but nevertheless good value for money.

A wonderful place to stay, with very a very generous host. Highly recommend the Sorrell barracks.

Fantastic stay. Very Quiet. Plenty of Choice for Breakfast. We have loved our stay here. It is cold outside but our room is very warm. Will stay again and highly recommend it to fellow travellers. Close walk to lots of eateries.

We stayed in B5, the little cottage in the middle. We arrived late from the airport, the reception was unmanned however there was a lovely note for us. When we got into the room, it was just perfect. It was cosy, but neat, tidy, clean and the owners had gone out of their way to make sure we were comfortable.
