On arrival Gary was very welcoming and happy to answer any questions about Dover and its surrounds. Situated on the main road into town but noise was not noticeable at night. Bed and Breakfast set up was prestine, with the room we booked being large, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and very much appreciated. Gary goes that extra mile by providing a hearty cooked breakfast as well as offering a selection of continental items. Grounds were lovely and parking off road. Exceptional A+ business.

Nothing.

Gary was an exceptional host. He went above and beyond in helping my partner and I to adjust our preplanned itinerary to accommodate for poor weather conditions, arranged restaurant bookings for us due to our interstate sim cards not receiving signal service, and prepared satisfying breakfasts for us throughout our stay. Further, when my partner and I visited 'Masaaki's sushi' for lunch in Geeveston after our departure from Ashdowns of Dover (as was planned within our itinerary), the restaurant owner and sushi chef 'Masaaki' immediately recalled Gary after we explained that we had been staying in Dover - ultimately speaking volumes about Gary's knowledge, connections and well-formed suggestions. Overall, our holiday started off on a positive note thanks to Gary. We highly recommend Ashdowns of Dover.

Ashdowns of Dover was a fantastic stay. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the homely feel of the accommodation and Gary was an incredible host. His passion shines through. He went out of his way to organise a reservation for us for dinner and was able to give us the rundown of the town. The breakfast far exceeded our expectations and we were able to purchase some delicious home made jams. We will definitely be back.

Friendly service and advice and very welcoming on arrival and during stay. Accommodated wife’s needs with a shower chair

A choice of breakfast as it is a full breakfast and a choice to pick 1 or 2 eggs and with or without sausages or other items is only negative to remember if you don't feel like a full breakfast, so not a negative as we loved the stay.

As soon as I arrived, I did not want to leave. Gary was an excellent host. Communication was top tier, and he was especially considerate and thoughtful. The room was lovely. Breakfast was absolutely wonderful, and the conversation was also filled with interesting topics and loads of great travel advice for the area. Thank you so much! Hope to see you again.

The hospitality was exceptional from start to finish. Love the area, the walk down to the back of the property with the cute cabin and the open fire which was ready to be lit, we enjoyed that! The rooms were clean, cosy, and comfortable too.

Unfortunately the only thing would have been my hubby asked for fried eggs and he got poached, that was okay, I ate them and he was very full after the delicious breakfast oat, yoghurt, berry mix! Great host!

Ashdowns of Dover was exceptional and exceeded all of our expectations. Our family of 3 (Myself, my husband and our well traveled, well behaved 9 year old) enjoyed 3 nights here. The location was great and provided a perfect jumping off point to explore the far south. The house was lovely and comfortable and we felt at home in our large sunny room right away. The property was absolutely gorgeous. The grazing sheep in the green fields, the chickens beyond the flower covered archway, the rose garden, the warm outdoor fire in the evenings and the secluded dock by the creek with chairs to enjoy a glass of wine all added up to the perfect retreat at the end of a long day of exploring. Our host, Gary, was warm and friendly and we enjoyed chatting with him and the other guests about travels and adventures. Gary was so kind to our 9 year old son and took time to show him the sheep and the chickens and to teach him how to play a new game. Our 9 year old says he would rate our stay 100 if he could. Each morning Gary made breakfast at our requested time and it was just amazing. Gary’s breakfast ranks at the very top of our list of favorites from our travels.

We enjoyed everything.

Ashdowns was a great place to stay, walking distance from Dover shops, cafes and RSL. Gary could not have been more attentive and helpful, he certainly deserves all the Tasmania Tourism Awards he has received.

The property is located adjacent to the main road and the traffic noise was a bit loud after 6.00am.

Top notch in every way. Spotless, comfortable room. Friendly, considerate and generous host (the breakfast was truly and traditionally big, wholesome and delicious). One of the best B&Bs I have experienced in Australia. Highly recommended.

Nothing to complain about.

The host is a very warm and engaging gentleman who greatly adds to the overall experience. The home is in a few acres of land with sheep and good views out the back. The room was a good size and the bed very comfortable.

The room we had opened directly on to the dining room.
