Westbury Gingerbread Cottages

Bed and Breakfast

While driving behind the owner of the Gingerbread Cottages (who conveniently has their logo plastered on their back bumper) I watched them throw a ball of trash out of their moving car and into the lovely Westbury countryside. If they can't be bothered to clean up after themselves, I can't even begin to imagine how filthy their accommodation is. A piece of advice: if you're going to litter, don't do it in a car that has your business logo stamped all over it.

Lovely period cottages set in a picturesque town. Our cottage was clean and tidy, but not spotless. The beds were really comfortable and there was plenty of good quality bed linen available. The cottage had everything we needed for our four day stay and everything worked as it should. In the colder months the gas heater would struggle to heat the whole cottage, but it was adequate for the cool nights we experienced. The owners provided complimentary muffins and gingerbread men for us (two couples) during our stay which was a lovely, unexpected treat and we appreciated the thought. Parking can be a problem on site at times due to limited spaces but I parked on the very quiet road directly outside the cottage with no problems. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return here again for another short break.

Small, quirky cottage with an enormous four poster bed.

Really enjoyed our short stay here. The cottage was excellent, clean and everything you need, weather your staying for 1 night or 5. Friendly, helpful staff. Great breakfast. Walking distance to shop. Also a favorite was the walk to the food truck at the village green.

We had a great time thank you Amanda for our little treats each day, Mia had a ball with the chickens she kept them well fed with lots of the bread. Loved our cottage and the heritage buildings thanks again would recommend everyone to stay at your cottages.

Lovely, self-contained, cottages. Period decor. Friendly hosts (who bake amazing snacks). We've been coming here for years, and this is where we always stay when we're in the north of Tasmania. Even the drive to Launceston isn't too long.

In the "Servant's Quarters" there is pleasant colonial decor, separate living and bedroom, a nice warm gas heater and neat garden. Off-street parking is included in a quaint courtyard. The kitchen is a bit tacky compared with the grand four poster bed, and for the price (150 aud for one person), you usually wouldn't see a stickytaped piece of paper near the sink asking guests to wash, dry and replace their dishes. That said, a nice place overall and with my recommendation.

The most delightful cottage we stayed in while holidaying in Tasmania. Beautifully kept, well equipped, scrumptious cakes, biscuits or muffins every day, we were so spoilt. Gorgeous garden, pleasant back veranda to sit on, Apple trees for shade, Westbury is a most interesting town too.

Stayed in appleblossom cottage very over priced! for this location passing car lights shining in bedroom widow during night not as clean as it should be dead blow flies on bedroom window sill.

Fantastic B&B's love everything about the gingerbread cottages. Amanda left home made bikkies or cakes every day on our table. Lovely heritage cottages, comfortable and all mod cons that did not detract the heritage style and furniture.

Very homely and comfortable :) great hospitality! I recommend getting the breakfast deal if you like homemade bread and jams etc. It's also fantastic if you're leas than 6 foot tall… my husband had slight issues with this :)

Delightful stay, wonderful hospitality. I would recommend to otners.

Thank you so much Amanda and Danny for the wonderful accommodation in the Old Bake House. The team from MAKEBELIEVE CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINMENT thoroughly enjoyed the comfy beds, delicious cupcakes and gingerbread men and the olde world charm of this beautiful place. Having a hot meal waiting for us when we came back from working long days at AGFEST was a godsend and I recommend everyone to take advantage of this extra option. MMMmmm delicious. Hopefully we will be back again next year. Cheers Michelle and the MAKEBELIEVE TEAM.

I would like to say a massive thankyou, you are all so inviting and such beautiful people I would reccomend this place to everyone. It is so child friendly and as a mother nothing makes you more happy then seeing your little ones excitedly exploring, laughing and having a memerable time! Ginger bread cottages did just that. Accomidating us at all hours from us knocking on the door 3 times due to us locking ourselves out to bringing a beautiful homemade breakfast at 8am always with a smile. Keep up the great Amanda, Dannie and kids :)
