Hotel's Favourite
Comfortable and well situated, easy to find and access.
Only a short walk from the centre of town.
Ample under cover parking and a restaurant that served beautiful food including one of the biggest Chicken Parma's I've ever seen.
Highly recommended if passing through the Tamworth area.

Lovely hotel and good quality restaurant with a more than adequate wine list.
Room at front did suffer from smelly drains! But I sorted it by covering/plugging drain holes and spraying air freshener.
Stayed again a second night in a different room and odour was still there but not as bad!
Room service needs to bleach drains and air rooms. Rooms also need air freshener supplied if management can’t eliminate odour entirely.
I am not normally critical of hotels but if I found it unpleasant I’m sure others will too!

Work booked this motel during COVID period and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the room based on the price paid.
The friendly front office woman, who turned out to be the owner, was super helpful. They were not doing evening meals when I stayed, but they had gone to the trouble of having photocopied menus of food vendors, who were doing take away meals, available and also offered to bring plates and cutlery to my room to make my evening meal a little more civilised,
Breakfast, delivered to my room, was still available. Lovely expresso and a Yoghurt pot with berries and granola was a great way to start the day,
My room was very comfortable, heating worked well, as the night was a little chilly. WIFI worked well, no buffering.
I'd happily stay again when my work brings me back to Tamworth, whenever that may be :(

The staff are the true asset of this place. From all aspects of check in and questions about local amenities they are friendly and very helpful.
Rooms are a decent size and clean. Bathroom was large with good water pressure in shower. Storage is an issue – there was one small hanging space but no drawers to use to unpack other than small bedside table. As I was there for a 4 night stay I would have preferred not to live out of suitcase. Plenty of easily accessible power points. The onsite restaurant does not open fri – sun so on weekends you have to go offsite to find food.
I was a solo female traveller and returning late at night but always felt safe – well lit at night but room curtains block out light so it doesn’t bother sleep. Even though it is on a main road the rooms are quiet. there is limited parking undercover but even returning late at night I was able to find parking on site
Don't let the facade fool you - this is definitely a new, modern hotel with rooms that are modern and clean

We stayed here on a one night stop over. Heritage look but a modern motel purpose built in 1988. Spacious, modern room in spotless condition. Cleanest motel carpet I have ever seen. Roomy, quality bathroom with spacious shower. We took a Terrace Queen Suite. Queen size bed was comfortable but only just big enough. The room was good value for money. Can also recommend the breakfast which is delivered to your room (we had 2 bacon and eggs on sourdough with one orange juice for $37) and dinner at the restaurant (2 entrees and 2 mains plus 2 coffees and a very nice bottle of red for $144). Only fault we could find with the whole experience was the air-conditioner in our room was a little noisy. Will definitely make this our regular digs when we are in Tamworth.

We have had a lovely stay at Ashby House. We stayed in Ashby Cottage which is fabulous for a family or group. It is directly next door to the hotel and is a two bedroom refurbished, century old cottage. It has excellent heating, a large practical bathroom, equipped kitchen and a large backyard area.
The owners made our stay perfect. They were friendly and went above and beyond to help make our stay memorable. They had some great recommendations on things to do with our children which included the marsupial park and the nearby town park which both exceeded expectations.
We had room service for breakfast on one occasion and it was delicious and room service dinner on one occasion and it too was delicious. They also sent a complimentary dessert, yum.
I honestly don’t remember the last time we have received the personalized service we have had at Ashby House.

We stayed here on the long weekend with our extended family. Kay at the office was so helpful, she organised extra towels and was really accommodating with our three kids. We stayed in an apartment and it was great for us and our three kids. Our other family stayed in the cottage and it was so beautiful!
Thanks so much, we will stay again.

What's good:
1. The staff are super friendly and very helpful.
2. The room was clean.
3. Good WiFi
What's not good:
1. It's on a busy road, so expect to be woken up early with trucks (5am).
2. Lighting in the room was all daylight globes, so there was zero ambiance. Changing the globes to a warmer colour would make a world of difference. I spent 10yrs building and refurbing hotels and daylight globes are a huge NO!
3. No power outlets at the desk or next to the bed.
4. No desk light.
5. No heat lamps in the bathroom. Not a huge deal, but the windows have spacers for fresh air, so you can't close them all the way. Not fun when its 3 degrees outside and you go for a pee at 5:30am (because the trucks woke you up).
6. Extra blankets would have been good. The room was really cold, so I ended up running the reverse cycle heating all night, but that's noisy and I'm sure costly to the hotel (sorry hotel) and probably not great for the environment (sorry eco-warriors).
7. A minor comment, but the light switching needs work. The switch in the room controlled the lobby and the lobby switch controlled the room light.
My room also looked a little different to the photos shown on TA (headboard, side tables, side lights). Perhaps I got an older room? Overall I never found the room to be inviting. I checked in, went out for a bite to eat and dreaded returning. Changing the lighting would certainly help this.

We stayed at Quality Inn Ashby House with our car club.
Kay organised a special two course, two option meal for us, (in two COVID safe sittings) which was absolutely delicious, especially the Salmon dish.
The rooms were spacious, comfy and quiet, and the staff very helpful and friendly.
COVID Safe practices were evident in all areas of Ashby House. Highly recommended.

I have been traveling to tamworth several times a year for horse shows for the past 20 years and had never stayed at Ashby house as it’s a bit pricier than some of the motels, which is fair enough as it looks lovely!
This time I thought I would spend a little more and stay somewhere nicer for the 4 nights I’m visiting, and for the little bit more than some other places I don’t think it was any better.
Parking was almost impossible some nights as they were quite busy.
Small dated rooms. However very clean and tidy.
The internet kept cutting out so when watching Stan or Netflix you had to turn it off and on again every almost every 15-30min.
One night there was an extremely drunk person in the hotel who kept us up for quite a while. We had friends staying there as well, and management phoned them to apologize but we didn’t hear anything at all.
Overall it’s a nice motel, but with so many options in tamworth, I don’t think I would come back.

Response from Kay Sweeney, General Manager at Quality Inn Ashby House Tamworth
Responded 18 Mar 2020
I'm disappointed, and apologise, that you did not enjoy your stay with us. Whilst some of your comments are subjective, regarding personal choice, we do take feedback seriously and will work to address the issue of f the internet. Whilst your review doesn't mention when you stayed, we did have a report of the internet cutting out a month ago, and have since had it resolved. Whilst the car park may seem busy, we do have enough parks on site for the number of rooms we have, and offer complimentary off street parking. Perhaps you stayed last weekend, as we had a number of the new model long base utilities in, and perhaps this is why you found parking a little difficult maneuvering a larger vehicle within the carpark (however I would say the same would be true for most motel carparks locally, when considering the size of the vehicles. My apologies regarding the disruptive guest, it is certainly not something that we have happen infrequently , however we hope you might appreciate it is something we have little control over, as we can't police peoples behaviour. However, as you pointed out, we did attend to the matter promptly when it was bought to our attention, and did offer our apologies to those effected guests. We apologise that you weren't contacted, we didn't want to be ringing people's rooms in the early morning hours to apologise for the disurbance, when they may have been asleep. Sorry to see you thought the rooms were dated, as we generally receive great feedback from Guests, and they have undergone a full refurbishment in the past three years . Regards Kay Sweeney
