to get started.

Very comfortable with excellent facilities, a friendly and informative host and a great breakfast. We could not fault it. Highly recommended.

William, Australia

We had dinner here and Gary made a wonderful meal of Salmon. This is by far the best place to eat in Dover. Breakfast was just wonderful and the home made jams are excellent. We even bought a jar to take with us. The rooms are clean and a good size and the bed is very comfortable. Dover is a very small and quiet town so we slept very well. We loved to spend the evening out by the fire pit looking out of the valley. The WiFi was pretty good relative to most of Tasmania.

Robert, Australia

Not only is the host Gary very knowledgeable about the area he makes a wicked breakfast. The eggs were the best I have had in a long , long time.

Melissa, Australia

The food, the room and bed, the clean and large bathroom, the host and the view.

Anonymous, Australia

This was the second time we stayed at Ashdowns. We were more than impressed with our stay. Gary is an exceptional host where nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is amazing.

Margaret, Australia

The location made traveling to tourist interests in the Huon area easy distance wise. You basically have a 5 star hotel experience at a rural (sheep and chickens in the back yard) type property but on the main tourist route. The food was outstanding and dinner is available on selected nights.

Mary-anne, Australia

Gary very kindly cooked us an amazing 3 course meal on Good Friday evening as everything shut. Great breakfasts too. Loved the little summer house by the creek with tea and coffee making facilities. We took down a bottle of wine and our books and enjoyed the late afternoon sunshine there. Appreciated that the stock in the bar fridge were not overpriced as they so often are in other places.

Janice, Australia

I felt very welcome and looked after as I was on my own.

Phillida, Australia

Gary is a super host and Ashdown is a very interesting property. We particularly liked the cabana by the creek at the bottom of the sheep paddock, in better weather an ideal place to have a wine and while away some private hours. Breakfast was excellent.

William, Australia

Helpful and welcoming host. Beautifully restored 'heritage' home. Good value. Views from dining room of sheep and river valley. Short walk to Post Office restaurant. Modern wet room bathroom.
