“Clean and comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

I stayed at "The Barn", Riley's self-contained cottage with a group of 4 people. Hayley and Mark are very nice hosts, giving us lots of recommendations on where to go in Avoca, particularly helpful with dinner recommendations. "The Barn" is a lovely cottage, with a downstairs lounge, kitchen, bathroom and queen room. The top mezzanine level has two single beds, a couch and a table soccer game. The beds were quite comfortable, but we found downstairs to be a little cold - and couldn't figure out how the heater worked - tried turning it on but it wouldn't quite work. Problem was easily rectified with the numerous extra blankets provided. Overall, Riley's is a great place to stay - it's not close to the beach, but it is lovely in its own right.

“Absolutely Beautiful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2010

We highly reccomend Rileys to anyone who is thinking about staying in the Gosford region. Beautiful surroundings and rooms. Awesome breakfast each morning topped off with freshly baked cookies. Chocolates and flowers in the rooms. Could not ask for better hosts - Quentin, Glenyis and Brenda were so warm and welcoming. Loved hearing about Quentins long family history in the area. And only a 2 minute drive to the beaches of Avoca.

“Simply a great B&B.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2008

Can't fault this place. We stayed in the blue room of the main bed and breakfast and despite being the lowest priced room we were left wanting for nothing. The place has evidentally been purpose built and the layout gives you all the privacy you need with cosy communal areas as well. The hosts have a long history in the area and are an invaluable source of knowledge about where to go and when to go there. They're also a dab hand in the kitchen turning out home-made cookies and good hearty breakfasts. It's like having the best parts of a hotel with the personal touch of a well run B & B.
