I decided to stay at Ardmore house as I was traveling by myself wanted something more quiet & personal than a central Sydney hotel. Peter & Declan were at the airport to meet me as I had ordered an airport pick-up & made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. I had to attend a conference in the city... more

My wife and I recently traveled to Sydney and decided on Ardmore House for our visit. We selected Ardmore House because we wanted to stay in a place with character, rather than in a sterile hotel room and we wanted to be able get first hand knowledge of Sydney from long time residents. We got exactly what we wanted and... more

Delightful are Declan and Peter who compliment one another in making you very welcome and comfortable during your stay with them. They have managed to balance sharing their home, spoiling their guests and being perceptive about what information would assist during your stay including introducing us to the staff in the local pub across the road. Each day started with... more

Peter and Declan were brilliant hosts. I felt completely at home, and was treated to fantastic breakfasts (Declan's culinary skills are worthy of a top class restaurant), and fascinating stories of Peter's former life in the world of opera. I would thoroughly recommend Ardmore House to all, whether travelling on business or leisure. more

I stayed here for a couple of nights in August 2009 as was travelling by myself and thought it looked like a really homely place to stay. The single room is really cute and loved the tea in bed in the morning! The area that Ardmore House (Newtown) is in is not right in the middle of Sydney's action but... more

We also were able to witness the first red dust storm in 70 years..Which Peter was able to explain. Should you be... more

The Ardmore House is a beautiful B&B in Sydney's inner suburb of Newtown. The owners, Peter and Declan, could not have been more welcoming (resident dog Tara, also!). My husband and I stayed at Ardmore House at the beginning (in late August) and end of a recent trip to Australia, and look forward to returning. Peter supplied us with information... more

I was duly fetched by Peter & Declan at the airport, And greeted by Tara with a waggling tail at home. Hardly settled, I was presented with a 2-day ticket: Leftover of my ‘forerunner’, according to Peter, Who then took me out for a get-to-know-the-area walk, And we landed at Jo’s Pie (?) to sip tea and savour pies. Tea... more

Great place: the room isn't just nice, it's friendly and homely, Peter and Declan aren't just friendly, they're focussed on your happiness, on fun and on informed conversation. When I booked, I wondered only about one thing: how long will the "15 min to CBD" really take. Well, obviously more than the 15' you're on the train, but not more... more
