This is the 3rd time staying at this hotel. We booked the Lady Carrington Suite and it was fantastic. Such a comfortable bed, nice and quiet and a great view of the mountains and town. For such an old hotel with so much history, it is kept in great condition. The staff are always friendly and inviting. Highly recommend.

Stayed at the Carrington again for a couple of nights. . .what a gem. It’s a beautiful faded lady with exquisite art deco public areas which are just delightful to be in -whether it’s the bar, the grand dining room or the tearoom. What a change from a bland chain hotel. Staff are great (the bar staff lack charisma) and the rooms are large but simple, ours was warm and stuffy and we couldn’t open the windows as they have been painted over (a small fix for your maintenance team). The hotel website boasts an al la carte breakfast but it doesn’t exist, just a pricey second rate buffet. Tip, pop over the road to the Tempus cafe for a great breakfast for half the price. Overall a great experience.

Great/grand restored old (1880) hotel with friendly, helpful staff. Many of the businesses around are run down, but the scenery is wonderful! Get tickets for the hop on hop off bus at the hotel desk. The bus guide is great, with many recommended activities at most of the stops.

We enjoyed our stay at the Carrington - beautiful and spotlessly cleaned room and bathroom, very comfortable bed, complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits. We also enjoyed a lovely dinner at the hotel restaurant - delicious food and fantastic service. Thank you.
