Wonderful country farmstay with lots of charm

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 26 Mar 2022via mobile
We stayed two nights using the two rooms - one a large king bedroom and the other a good sized queen. This is a beautiful period style farmstay with quality furniture and amenities. Our hosts Cathryn and John made us feel very welcome into their home and did everything possible to help us have a very memorable and comfortable stay. We had full private use of the adjoining living room so it felt like a self contained B&B dwelling. The rooms have a shared ensuite bathroom which worked fine with family using both rooms and each bedroom has its own sink and vanity unit. The breakfasts were wonderful with fruits, cereals, and full cooked meal as well. We even had homemade sausages which wered delicious with home grown eggs and tomatoes! The farmstay is on a beautiful 500 acre property only 15 minutes drive south of Glen Innes on the New England Highway so easy to find and access.
We would definitely stay here again.

Last minute change of plans so we drove into Sharron Farmstay whereJohn & Cathy welcomed us. Beautiful patchworks adorn twin suite beds & Australian paintings cover the walls of their converted family home. We were free to wander the grounds & delighted in seeing one of Johns workshops where he is meticulously building himself another plane - just for fun. We have just finished a full breakfast of fresh rhubarb from the garden & yogurt with a number of other fruit options. Then homemade sausages & fresh eggs, tomatoes & mushrooms & toast. Delicious while we listened to the chooks.

Room tip: This is Country Australia - relax & enjoy

Such a great place to stay ! Breakfasts were very nice and substantial. They cook a wonderful 3 course dinner for an excellent price if you organise prior to your stay, which is great if it is too cold to go out to get some dinner or you are too tired after a day of exploring !
Wonderful hosts, Cathy and John made us feel very comfortable in their home and are two lovely, very down to earth people. They make you feel so comfortable you feel like you have known them for years!! We felt so comfortable we wore our slippers to the dining table !!
I wanted them to stay and have dinner with us instead of them serving us our meals then they would retreat into another room.
Due to Covid they host smaller groups so it was wonderful for just our group of 4 (not so good for Cathy and John though!)
Wonderful value for money, thankyou.
Thanks again Cathy and John ( I am still wearing my Glen Innes slippers 😆😆 )

Room tip: Great King bedroom with a slow combustion fireplace. Queen bedroom is comfortable and is all you need.

We spent 2 nights with Cathy and John at the farmstay and it was tough to leave! Winter is a great time to go because the real wood fires in the sitting room and one of the bedrooms just make the place so cosy. It was a privilege to see and use all the lovely nik naks in the house - many of which are family heirlooms. Cathy and John couldn't be more hospitable and the food was just fabulous - so worth taking up the option of the 3 course meal in the evening. Would definitely recommend and we will be back!

Had a short but very nice stay here last night. The farmhouse is rustic and very comfortable and surrounded by well kept lawn and gardens. After a long drive, a wine in front of the log fire was a great way to finish our day- or so we thought. Our dinner that was served up by our hosts was faultless. Catherine and John were very friendly and it was lovely sharing their story with us. Had another great meal the next morning which included lots of delicacies homemade by Cath. Would highly recommend.

From the time we pulled into the driveway we loved the look of the old farmhouse...Cathy and John are amazing hosts and we were so glad we ordered the 3 course home cooked meal for dinner! It was outstanding ...all home grown including the meat....photos attached. Our rooms were spacious with comfy beds and pillows, covered with stunning hand made patchwork quilts made by Cathy. The hand basins were in the bedrooms and we shared a joined ensuite shower and toilet. The shower had great water pressure which is a plus and the wifi is strong.This working farm has a large chook pen apart from their cattle herd and a gorgeous black cat called Whitby. It also has 2 runways on the property which means you can arrive by small plane which is a unique feature! John cooked an amazing breakfast ...again all home grown...including his own sausages which were very tasty ( more photos attached). Lots of amazing old antique silver kitchenware and wooden furnishings including a cedar commode chair. We would highly recommend Sharron Farm stay for couples and families.

Room tip: King bed room at the front of the house
