Hosts Craig and Shannon were fabulous. Warm friendly welcome, a delicious complimentary breakfast, and loads of local tips. Every restaurant and attraction they recommended was spot on. A great home cooked brekky is provided every morningbetween 8 and 9 am. The home made bread, and apricot jam using apricots fresh from their tree are a treat to look forward to. After dinner we would come home to a port or wine in the cosy guest lounge and exchange stories with other guests. The building and gardens are immaculately maintained, spotlessly clean and pretty as a postcard. My husband and I stayed in the lovely spacious David room (which is actually 4 rooms - bed, lounge, bathroom and separate toilet) and will definitely stay at Ashton gate on our next visit to Launceston.
