Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We had the back Mews room, in old stables adjacent to Hotel. Quiet room as it was away from from the road. The bedroom had a bed and low cabinet ( with Bar fridge and tea & coffee and continental breakfast provisions inside) and TV on the top. No room for chair or wardrobe; 4 hooks behind the door for hanging. The ensuite was large, but shower curtain too short so the floor gets very wet. Split level heating in bedroom and electric blanket was necessary and appreciated on this cold winter's night. Breakfast difficult to eat in your room in winter (in summer/autumn you could sit outside on verandah - 2 chairs and small table) . WIFI does not work in any of the Mews rooms; only in the Hotel. Staff were courteous. Hotel Front bar lounge - with open fire, very cosy on a winter's night. Rooms are not expensive, so for a 1 night stay, is OK.

My husband and I dined here a couple of times whilst staying in Auburn for a few days. We were quite impressed with the menu as there was plenty to choose from and the prices are reasonable. I ordered the chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce and hubby ordered the porterhouse schnitzel with pepper sauce. The mains came with chips and a side serve of freshly made salad. Both of our main courses were delicious and the mushroom sauce which was home made with fresh mushrooms, cream and white wine was simply to die for. The next time we visited we had a dozen Kilpatrick Oysters to start with and for main course we both ordered Rump Steak. Again we were not disappointed. The steaks were lovely and tender, generous serves and freshly made salad. We can definitely recommend The Rising Sun Hotel for great food at reasonable prices and friendly staff. We look forward to returning when we are next in the Clare Valley.

We enjoyed three plates from the entree menu as shared lunch for two. Serving sizes were generous, food was super tasty and you could tell a lot of love had gone into the preparation and flavours. A real find for GF diners as 90% of the menu was catered for this dietary intolerance, thanks Rising Sun! Service was friendly and efficient. Definitely stop in for a feed.

We checked into the Standard room this week. It took us some to gather our words to describe the state of the accommodation. Firstly, the corridor to our room was covered in very old carpet which was heavily soiled. As a consequence, the carpet perfumed the corridor with the smell of mixed tabacco, alcohol and wet dog. I had to hold my breath each time we walked to our room. The room was tiny and there was no door to the bathroom!!! Imagine staying at this place as a new couple or with a friend?!?!? We were expecting to be greeted by a lovely airy room as depicted in the photos though we realised that the photos referred to their premium rooms in the new establishment which is separate to the pub. I have stayed at many establishments worldwide and backpackers with multi occupants have better facilities that this room. The bed was terrible. Both my husband and I ended up with very sore backs and I barely slept both nights. My hiking mat would have been better than this mattress. Breakfast was also marketed as being included and this included two cereal swatches and two pieces of white bread and milk. This experience put a downer on our Clare Valley experience and we could not wait to leave. If we had the opportunity, we would have paid for an upgrade though their premium rooms were fully booked. Sadly, we cannot recommend the standard room, though you might have a better experience staying in the adjoining rooms. Although we paid $100 a night, a decent mattress and door for the bathroom would go a long way. The shower pressure and hot water supply was very good. I expected budget but this was far from budget.

Gee don't you just love faceless coward people who don't have the courage to come up at the time and tell us their concerns but would rather grossly exergerate the issue that may concern them and then go to social media ? Yes we remember you . You told us that your husband was a Doctor and you wanted the best room . We told you that all the Superior Muse rooms were booked out but if you wanted the Executive Muse room that was available you could have that one but you were not prepared to pay the extra $60 .00 and expected us to give it to you at the same price as our hotel room . Are you truely serious ? Your accusations that the carpet was soiled etc etc etc is just total rubbish .We do not allow smoking or animals in the hotel and if there was an alcohol smell hello it is a hotel . I really doubt your husband is a doctor if you are back tracking and only ever want to stay in budget accomodation .Maybe he is a Witch doctor ?

We stayed two nights in the Executive Muse room, and ate twice at the hotel. Food and service in the restaurant were wonderful, faultless really. The young lady assisting us should be given a raise, she was so friendly and hard working. The mushroom arrancini balls, seafood curry and marinated prawns were beautifully cooked with subtle flavours, the chef definitely knows what he/she is doing.
I wish we’d loved the room as much. Understanding that this is a hotel, I’d asked for a quiet room, but unfortunately it was probably the noisiest room I’ve stayed in in over 10 years.
I didn’t realise that there is only one of these room types, and it fronted directly onto the main road, so there was constant traffic noise from 6am till 10pm. Then trucks thundering by every few minutes at all hours. My earplugs didn’t quite cut it. The saggy bed and flat pillows didn’t help either. The room aesthetic was I guess colonial, but it was a bit more shabby than chic. Cute on entry, but could definitely do with a bit of $ invested to bring it up to today’s standards. And no wifi was also a bit of a bummer.
It was clean though, and we did enjoy the fireplace, complimentary port (yummy) and continental breakfast.
Would definitely recommend the hotel, just not the Executive room.

Stayed one night in room in main building. Food was ok and staff friendly and helpful.
Room worse than the photo suggests. Ensuite with no door (ie a converted normal small room), saggy double bed and dirty cutlery with the in room DIY breakfast. Hot water took over 5 minutes to arrive.
Bathroom signage interesting.
Cost $100. Would not recommend.

Stayed for a night in the Executive Mews Room. Very soft comfortable bed, lovely wood stove (got a bit hot in the night though) and good location. The bath could certainly do with having a coat of paint both to the exterior and interior. Very friendly and helpful staff We had dinner in the hotel and the food was delicious and plentiful --would love to have been able to fit in a dessert as they sounded very good.

Had our last eating out pre Covid lunch here before lockdown the next day and it was sensational, just look at the photo..... and it tasted as good as it looked! Didn’t break the bank either. The lovely Ali also let us recharge our bike batteries so we could get back to Clare.

This was such an amazing meal to have. The menu has changed or upgraded. We had the risotto mushrooms, kangaroo with beetroot walnut and goats cheese we added a vegetable side. As you can see with the photos the presentation and flavours are amazing. You will enjoy
