Lovely character building - 186 yo period guest house. Restaurant closed due to COVID restrictions (understandable). Hosts are friendly and helpful.

Beautiful old residence constructed in 1868 but well preserved, very historic and comfortable with beautiful panoramic views of Tenterfield. The restaurant wasn't open when we were there due to COVID but it looked fantastic a reviews from previous visitors were good. Would stay again.

Fascinating Old House
Stannun House is an amazing building which its builder thought might have become a centre of Australian Government when Tenterfield was proposed as a potential site for the national capital. Well restored with beautiful furniture and more work in progress. Large room with a dedicated bathroom a few metres away (there are some en suite rooms). The restaurant is shut for COVID but breakfast is served. On the edge of town but only a few minutes walk. It is on the main road so some noise from trucks but this mostly stops at night. A most unusal place and exceptional value, completely different fom the a normal motel, friendly staff

Stannum House is absolutely amazing. The rooms are large and comfortable. Due to covid the buffet breakfast is not available however there is still ample to choose from including cereal, a variety of breads for toast and croissants. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate is available at all times. I stayed in the Napoleon room which has its own private balcony. The Reid room is the other room With its own balcony. The Napoleon room has its own private bathroom, however it is located outside the room a few metres away. This didn't worry me at all. We were lucky to have a tour of the other areas of the house and informed all about its history.. I would definitely stay here again and can recommend any of the rooms , however there is only a private balcony for the Napoleon and the Reid rooms. Do not expect to be allowed in before 2pm

The staff at Stannum House are excellent. Our room was amazing- spacious, clean beds, water and snacks supplied. Continental breakfast was yummy. Bathrooms are in need of some work but that didn’t bother us.

This place is great. The room I had was the Napolean, own bathroom admittedly not in the room but that wasn't a bother to me. Communal kitchen/ lounge area was good, great selection of coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Heaps of plates, cups, glasses and cutlery as well as a microwave and toaster. Breakfast in the dining room was continental due to COVID but was adequate. Manager was helpful and had lots of historical information. Will stay again.

Staff very friendly and helpful.
It’s a bit like Hotel Marigold, bit run down with heaps of potential.
Beds were terrible very lumpy and springy.
Deal stayed full breakfast however only had toast and cereal to offer.
Very noisy road traffic from trucks passing .

We stayed in the Reid Room which was so beautiful! The only thing that we found a little disappointing was that we had to leave our room to use our private bathroom.
