“Dirty, smelly and damp”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

We stayed at Dumfries park and were really disappointed with the accommodation. Although the owners are really kind they property is of a very, very poor standard. The room we stayed in was full of smelly dank air and the bedding was damp and wet. When I drew the curtains the whole wall and curtain were covered in damp. I had to spray perfume everywhere to try to get rid of the smell but it was so bad we regularly woke up in the night. The bathroom is nice enough although shared, but it really did feel like you were staying in a spare room that hadn't been opened for years - not fun. I would not stay here again.

“You don't get what you pay for”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

Very expensive for what you get. Rooms have a shared bathroom/toilet (lock on toilet door doesn't work), damp smell and poor air quality in room causing me to have an asthma attack (I haven't had an asthma attack for 5 years !). Breakfast was very nice. Really disappointed with this place as we loved Phillip Island other than this place

“Overpriced”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2011

We found Dumfries Park Bed and Breakfast, Cowes, Phillip island overpriced and recommend that prospective guests inspect a room at this "bed and breakfast" (run from a suburban house) before agreeing to pay the asking price of $160 per night.
