Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We stopped in for a counter lunch on our way through Auburn. It's a great little country hotel with a nice country feel. Counter meals were very good and the bar person was friendly and helpful. A very good selection of wines at reasonable prices. Well worth a sto on a long drive.

Great meal choice. Very courteous and prompt service Every detail seemed of meticulous attention. Perfect entry and exit point to and from the Clare Valley Apart from our excellent dining experience, one would imagine that the associated motel accommodation facilities are equally superb. Definitely worthy of an excellent review

I spent a couple of days here over the weekend. Great value for money, very clean and comfy rooms inside the pub. Quiet even when there's a function on. Continental breakfast in each room was great. The staff were absolutely lovely. I'd love to see a salad or a bit better menu but other than that you can't go past staying here whilst in the Clare Valley.

Stunned by the rudeness of the staff. 100 people at a Fringe Show in the backyard and when we inquired about dinner at 8:10 the response was “are you kidding?!” As Clare Valley locals we were appalled to find a hospitality business speaking to anyone like this.

Response from Mick Guerin, Owner at The Rising Sun Hotel
Responded 27 Mar 2022
Hi Kirsty . First up I must apologise to you if you were spoken to like that by a staff member . I am assuming this would have been the previous Saturday night to when you wrote your review as we did not have a Fringe show on the long weekend of the 12th March . We did have a very large audience that Saturday night (around 160 Ticketed people attended) and many of these had dined in the Hotel prior to the Show Commencing .A point I did note however was that you say you came in at 8.10 PM looking for a meal . Our Kitchen closes at 8 PM and it is critical in these current times that everyone must book especially on a Saturday night and especially under the Covid Restrictions to be assured of getting a meal . Whilst I am not condoning the way you say you were spoken to by a staff member I can understand their frustration that on such a busy night that someone has come in after our kitchen has closed with out a booking and expecting to be fed . You should not have been spoken to like that and I will take this matter up with my staff to ensure that Frustrations are kept in check despite how frustrated they might be when dealing with situations such as these . If you would like to discuss this further please do not hesitate to give the Hotel a call and ask for myself .

The rooms are adjacent to the hotel and are on keeping with the age of the campus. Gardens lovely and there is a grassed area at the rear which is nice to chill out on. The room isn’t large and certainly doesn’t have all the mod cons but isn’t trying to be that way either.

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.

We stayed at the hotel for 1 night. Room was small but cosy and comfortable. Dinner was superb (oysters followed by lamb shanks/kangaroo steak) . Food was great and Ally and Mick's warm hospitality was exceptional. One thing is for sure- we will be back

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.
