Fodor's Expert Review Lurline House
122 Lurline St. Fodor's Choice
This historic little B&B is arguably the town's best. The Federation-style house dates back to 1910, and its seven rooms, two of which have their own private courtyard, have been carefully restored. Owners Peter and Suzanne are congenial hosts; Peter's expertise draws from a family of B&B owners, and Suzanne's from many years working for the Blue Mountains tourism organization. Their talent shows in the careful attention they pay to detail, from the full English breakfasts and complimentary Wi-Fi to afternoon tea and cakes, complimentary port in the parlor, and immaculate gardens. The couple also rents Lurline Cottage, a two-bedroom bungalow next door.
PROS
- rooms have four-poster beds
- warm and welcoming
- manicured gardens
CONS
- not all rooms have private courtyard
- younger trendsetters might find the place not to their taste
- not for those who like private hotel stays
