A really lovely stay!
Had a wonderful stay. About the birds enjoying building their bird nests. Nice quiet and beautiful garden.
The host was incredibly friendly and helpful. Our room was spotless and very well presented with meticulous attention to detail. Very quiet and peaceful. In short, it was marvelous.
I had a very nice stay at the guest house.
This is the perfect place to sleep in Darling because you just feel the 'vibe' of the town. Authentic, comfortable, neat and well located with good breakfast and friendly host.
Rooms are neat and nicely furnished with tasteful decor.
Good place for 1 night stay.
Very friendly welcome and support. Definitely a nice place to unpack.
Had a wonderful sleep in a peaceful environment.
I enjoyed my stay. The WiFi was good. The heated blanket was especially welcome as it was very cold. Breakfast was excellent.
From reception to departure, the atmosphere was warm and friendly and the service unbeatable. Would recommend to anyone.
Very comfortable room with quality beds. Clean and tidy and a good host who personally looks after guests. Good breakfast. Darling is a small town that can be explored on foot. There is no air conditioner, but a fan and cool rooms quite comfortable.
Lovely small touches everywhere. Comfortable, cosy accommodation. Delicious breakfast. Kind and attentive hosts.
Friendly staff. Most delicious breakfast. Best bath salt. Bed sleeps great. Warm duvet was not even needed for the electric blanket.
Stefan is an excellent host who goes above and beyond. Would highly recommend Darling Lodge Guest House.
A warm welcome, beautiful decor, cozy warm beds, cozy living area. Variety of wine for sale. They deserve more than just 5 stars!
Very comfortable, great hosts, and delicious breakfast.
We slept very well at Darling Lodge Guest House. Home away from home. The fab shower heads have given showering a new definition. Thank you guys.
Beautiful old Victorian house in a lovely condition with a garden that gives you an instant sense of peace and tranquillity. In summer, I am sure the swimming pool is well used as it looked so inviting. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Brilliant service and the breakfast was delicious!
Thank you, a gorgeous town to visit. The Evita Perron Museum, restaurant and theatre are a must We were so well looked after, had a delicious breakfast, sat at the exquisite pool under the shade, listened to the bird calls, and walked into town for any early dinner, recommended by Stephan. We will definitely return and recommend this haven to all our friends. Darling has so much to offer, one needs at least two days and two nights there to experience it all. We missed Evita Perron's show, and also missed out on the lodge's open-air movie night.
Very friendly welcome. Comfortable room. Great garden.
Properly hot showers, electric blankets - a hit with the teens, foot-and-claw-baths, to-die-for jams and marmalade made by the owners, lavender and locally-made toffees on the pillow, modest room prices, beautiful gardens, all set in a peaceful, safe, full-of-treasures village. Thank you Stephan and Oliver for your hospitality and recommendations. I'll return the favour and recommend Darling Lodge unreservedly.
Pleasant hosts. Quick response to requests. Neat room. Delicious breakfast. Limited parking space. Safe environment.
It's the perfect place to go if you're from the west coast, it gives you peace and lets you escape from all the stress.
Host very friendly and helpful.
Friendly greeting, nice garden area to relax. Breakfast was excellent. Your website says Secure Parking - Off Street Parking - this is misleading as there is only parking for a few cars - first come first serve! We had to park in the street and hope that the car was not broken into.
The absolute best - service, rooms, friendliness.
The owners pay attention to detail. The best of all three stays.
The room was neat and clean, breakfast good and the host friendly.
We received a warm welcome and the cottage was clean and tastefully decorated. It had everything required for a wonderful stay, including an excellent breakfast.
Lovely, clean accommodation and well equipped. Friendly host and delicious breakfast.
Overnight stay for MTB race. Lovely spacious room with a tranquil garden setting.
Lovely, quiet, clean and a very pleasant place to spend the night. Only criticism is that we missed an aircon.
One of the gems in Darling, very quiet and safe.
I have not had the need to book anywhere else when staying in Darling, was recommended by locals to stay over at Darling Guest House, absolutely delightful.
Very pleasant host. Excellent breakfast.
Comfortable and clean accommodation, although room did not have a mini fridge with water. Which is a standard logic. Breakfast was disappointing. Quality and quantity thereof. But venue is lively, pool was refreshing.
Most enjoyable. Highly recommendable.
Pleasant garden with clean rooms and central location.
Beautiful, clean rooms, friendly host and delicious breakfast!
We were welcomed with warm hearts. The rooms are styled with a perfect touch. We had a full English Breakfast and buffet, it was very delicious. If you want to be treated like royalty, go there. That was our second visit. Will definitely go there again.
Would definitely recommend and will visit the guest house again.
We enjoyed the older style rooms with its modern touches.
Within walking distance of "The Old Forge" restaurant, a characterful place to eat with very tasty food that was carefully prepared.
Would recommend the establishment.
The hosts were very friendly, the check-in process was quick and the room neat and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was delicious, especially the homemade strawberry jam and orange marmalade. Definitely worth it.
Stefan and Oliver were wonderful and helpful hosts. The rooms are comfortable, interesting and tasteful. And the grounds are lovely. I doubt one can find better smack in the middle of town.
Very nice and hospitality was at the top of the list!
Highly recommend when staying over in Darling.
Characterful buildings, tastefully furnished, well equipped, create a sense of luxury, beautiful garden with swimming pool and facilities.
Clean and tidy. Construction when we were there but still not affecting the quality of facilities.
Lovely relaxed vibe. Visual details throughout the experience.
Beautiful place with everything you need. Beautiful gardens, rooms are beautiful and breakfast were great. Stephan is a great host.
Perfect for overnight or a few days. Comfortable room, friendly welcome. Lovely breakfast.
Awesome accommodation - quiet area, good beds and fine details. Beautiful garden and surroundings are good for the soul. Very friendly staff with great breakfast. Will definitely stay here again when visiting Darling.
Our stay at Darling Lodge was really nice. The rooms are very nicely furnished and clean with secure parking. Bed slept great and breakfast was delicious. We will definitely stay there again.
From stepping into the door you feel at home! Clean beautiful rooms, delicious breakfast and value for money!
We had a lovely stay at the guest house. It is very well located in the town and the hosts are happy to help with recommendations for activities in the town.
Beautiful place. Spacious room. Neat bathroom. Friendly service. Great breakfast. The WiFi was weak in my room.
