Ulmarra Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is an old building so don't expect the rooms to be modern...having said that there was everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable and warm and the included breakfast was more than adequate. Check in was super easy. Be aware that there is a flight of steps to go up to all rooms so if mobility is an issue this could be a little tricky The bathrooms are shared but are close to all rooms and the showers were nice and hot. Dinner at the bistro was delicious. Despite being above the pub it was very quiet. Would recommend a stay. Quaint small town close to Grafton right on the river."
