Sorell Barracks

It was a last minute change to my plans and I was grateful to have a comfortable night's stay in the history laden Sorell Barracks. The complimentary breakfast and nibbles were much appreciated and a wonderful surprise, which I enjoyed in a warm, cosy building. Thank you.

I've stayed at the Barracks 3 times now and I will always come back. It's super clean, the owners Terry and Lynn are lovely and each accommodation is well equipped, cosy, affordable and feels just like home. Handy to the airport, great start point to the east coast and tasman peninsula and short walk to Sorells main St. Highly recommend!

SO CHARMING!! We were looking at staying at historic sites while in Tasmania, and this one exceeded our expectations!For a month's stay, it wouldn't serve but for a short stop it was DELIGHTFUL! So well laid out, with so many details that showcased the era and reminded us of Nana and time past. The willow pattern dishes, the chamber pot, and the embroidered chair were lovely. But the best part is the way the modern conveniences were also there - a wonderfully complete bathroom, plenty of power points, and lights. Snuggling on the sofa, and being able to watch a movie (using an HTML cable we brought) was tremendously relaxing, plus listening to the rain pitter-patter on the roof reminded me of childhood... So lovely!!The stairs were steep and narrow, but as long as we didn't have to climb them days on end, everything else was perfect!!

We really appreciate the professional and kind customer service that was provided by Terry and Lynn in the Barracks. We had the most wonderful stay, and really appreciated the detail and care with which this historical setting is being offered as an experience for customers. Our children loved playing in the beautiful gardens, and we felt as part of a very special place that made our Tasmanian experience exceptional and memorable. Thank you to Terry and Lynn for all your efforts.

Spent 2 nights in the top storey apartment / loft of these barracks built in 1827. Beautifully furnished with historic furniture and fittings.Well appointed , warm and very friendly feeling throughout.Hosts friendly and helpful with local guidance. Great location to visit historic Richmond and Port Arthur.Watch the steep stairs after a couple.

The Sorell Barracks are cosy, unique and full of history. The rooms are quirky and charming and beds very comfortable. A personal welcome note and basket of goodies was much appreciated.

A wonderful historic place to stay..so tastefully done to enhance the era.I would definitely recommend a stay here

Wonderful. Phoned to book short notice and from the first interaction they were fantastic. It's picture postcard beautiful from the outside, and the rooms are done up beautifully to match. I would definitely stay here again, after spending two nights in two separate rooms. Highly recommend.The only (very slight) negative was that my second room didn't have a HD TV tuner, so it limited quite significantly the tv options. But it was really only a very slight negative and wouldn't stop me from giving them 5 stars.

Beautiful place to stay. Steps to the loft rooms.are steep so be careful.Handy to city by car. Plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. We would definitely stay there agsin

Lovely and cozy. Nice comfortable bed. Great shower. Very well maintained. Appreciated the gift basket.
