Prospect Country House & Restaurant

We enjoyed this place so much 2 years ago we returned and it is still of a high standard - this would be perfect for a special occasion. We had dinner in the main dining area and the meals were excellent - i had eye fillet and my wife had Duck and then we both had desserts which were excellent. One of the perks here is a free wine tasting at Pooleys Wines and you only have to walk across the road! A comprehensive continental breakfast is provided in the conservatory. The bonus is the historic town of Richmond is in walking distance, and plenty of things to see. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Our stay here in Richmond was made so much more memorable due to the friendly efforts of Kylie, David, Lisa, Kolpana and Imogen. What a crew. (and Basil the fill in waiter aka John) Our room was spacious and well appointed, it was an easy walk downstairs to the restaurant, and nothing was a problem. The meals were superb yet surprisingly simple with choices from the main food groups. The wines were another level from Pooleys Wines which is associated with the venue. We would recommend doing the tasting and having the pizza lunch at the winery. The property is situated close to Hobart and many other attractions. Our focus was the food and wines of the area and we were not disappointed. We would highly recommend Prospect House as a destination.

We enjoyed two wonderful nights at this unique and stunning accommodation. Booking was simple, and management made regular and timely communications with me prior to our arrival, to ensure all was on track. We were met by Daniel when we arrived, who gave us a tour of the beautiful and historic property, and shared some wonderful stories. We enjoyed two sumptuous and very tasty breakfasts, and ate on one night in the dining room. Dinner was fantastic, very tasty and of high quality. Since the hotel was fairly quiet where we were there - there was only one other guest - we were fussed over and made to feel really special, due to Daniel's and Kylie's attentive behaviour and genuine kindness and friendliness. The room was exceptional, spacious, bed very comfortable, and the rain shower was a joy. We loved the opportunity to wander around the grounds in all their spring glory. And on top of all that, we really appreciated the free visit to Pooley's winery for a tasting. The hotel sits just on the edge of the pretty, historic and interesting town of Richmond, and only 20 minutes from the airport. We are very glad we selected this place. It is well worth treating yourself.
