Beechmont Estate

Guests appreciate the delicious breakfast, attentive staff, and comfortable, spacious rooms with beautiful views. The peaceful location provides an escape from the city's hustle.

This place is exceptional staff, rooms, location couldn't fault anything. Especially the staff, so attentive and knowledgeable, spot on. Food is next level amazing, the combinations that they do will blow your mind, great variety of drinks and excellent sommelier. Beautiful rooms and grounds. Morris Company should be very proud of the staff at this resort, they excellent.

We recently stayed at Beechmont for a couple of nights to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Everything we really want to say has already been mentioned in the reviews by others, but there are a couple of things I want to say, First of all, we loved our time at this special place. The staff were sensational and to be greeted each morning at the door of the dining room by Scott was terrific. The breakfasts were plentiful in size and catered to our minor dietary needs that we had been previously asked about. I really enjoyed the little glass of yoghurt on the first morning (once my wife had eaten the sprinkled nuts off the top). The scrambled eggs were excellent, but I am not a fan of bacon cooked really crispy like Americans seem to like it. The cherry tomatoes with chopped garlic was excellent. We did not leave the property during our stay, and had our picnic hamper on the balcony, which had heaps of sun, and no wind. The hamper had luscious goodies and there was more than we could eat. Of particular note was the very small sweet pickled onions. We loved our food at dinner on the first night. I had quail as entrée and the pork for main. Both excellent dishes (although I would not serve seeded mustard and cold apple puree. Dijon mustard and warm apple would be my preference). On the second night, after being “entertained” by Jack at the bar, we had our dinner. There was a leek and potato soup with shaved truffle from the degustation menu and it was absolutely sensational. My wife had the cod for her main and pronounced it as being top quality. Sadly, my wagyu cap was a complete disappointment, being chewy and grisly. It had a nice taste, but was inedible. There are a number of minor matters that I mention in the spirit of helpfulness. (In my working life, I ran one establishment of 1000 beds and another of 450 beds). We were placed in an accessible room, at our request, and the bathroom was excellent. I would consider having a heater installed in the bathroom, because it was freezing. I noticed a previous reviewer mentioned water from the shower going all over the floor in the accessible bathroom. We did not find this at all – the trick is to lower the shower rose, point it towards the wall and if possible hold it in one hand to wash yourself. I would also have a chair placed in the main room as there was nothing other than the bed to sit on. Also, perhaps a rug/mat in the room might give a feeling of warmth. I loved the combustion fire, but sadly, my wife was affected by the very small amount of smoke she sensed. I realise that the property is in the countryside, but we found we had to brush down the tables and chairs on the balcony to get rid of the cobwebs. I’m guessing this would be a never-ending chore for cleaning staff. There is also a need for some of the walls and the door frames to be cleaned, but I am being petty about that. Finally, I want to comment on the cost. There is no doubt that the price for 2 nights plus dinne
