I was attracted to staying at the Blue Jacket Motel once I saw the photos of the room on the website. It was our wedding anniversary and we were spending the weekend in the local area. Following a beautiful lunch at Antica in Carcoar we arrived at the Blue Jacket and everything was even better than I imagined. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated and arranged, wonderfully comfortable and contained everything we needed. It was clear that a great deal of thought had gone into the refurbishment of the room. An evening sitting drinking the local wine and cheeseboard we brought with us (though more was available in the room), talking and looking out at the view, as we listened to the Nat King Cole record on the record player discovered in the room was simply perfect. This was followed by a very restful night in a perfectly comfortable a spacious bed. This was the most 'hotel' experience I have ever found in a motel in a regional area. Simply perfect! Easily go back there again.

It was never really clear on the website and booking.com info whether dinner or breakfast was available so we ended up bringing food ourselves. When we arrived we discovered Georgia's Country Kitchen on the premises and the minibar in the room and might have not worried about bringing our own wine and food. I recommend making this information clearer on the website.

The rooms decor, location to town & the option to enjoy a beverage on the balcony in the late afternoon winter sun.

The lack of heating in the bathroom was the reason for a lower score on the facilities & comfort - it was bitterly cold unless you blasted the a/c in the bedroom/living area & left the bathroom door open so the heat could circulate - I appreciate you don't spend time in there but for a July/August stay it was cold

The room was presented as displayed on the website, but it just looked so much better in real life, The furnishing were sumptuous and just so lovely. The bed was excellent, very comfy and large. The shower was hot and water pressure also good. The bath was an added bonus, and again just a hint of luxury in a room in Canowindra. The restaurant is not part of the Blue Jacket, but i can recommend the late night dessert and coffee/tea. Breakfast was also available, reasonable prices, good quality food.

Nothing - a true 5 star review.

Super clean, comfortable and furnished with eclectic style. Easy walk into town. On site restaurant, Gloria's Country Kitchen, deserved greater patronage. The owner shared his life experience and the menu was both simple and delicious.

If anything we found the room styled to unnecessary excess. Style seemed to override comfort and clutter was the order of the day. Many visitors would consider this to be a bonus, but not us. The rug around the bed could be considered a tripping hazard for more elderly guests.

The staff were incredible, as new guests they kindly upgraded us, sent clear and concise directions to our room and had the electric blankets warmed up for us! The room was exceptional, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was made to feel like a spa/sanctuary! We stayed with our dog who thoroughly enjoyed the motel also, had a nice area at the back to roam around and go to the bathroom safely! We highly recommend this motel

Nothing

It was obviously cared for and there was great attention to detail inside the room. The owner was extremely helpful and offered suggestions for dinner and told us not to hesitate to call if we needed anything.

We thought it looked deserted out the front as the lawn was well overgrown. The inside of our room was a welcome relief after our first impression from outside. There had been a lot of rain and heat though which would account for the growth. Perhaps just mowing a small amount at front reception?

The rooms and amenities were absolutely amazing and definitely worth the money to stay.

Would have been nice if someone was there to greet you at check in instead of receiving a text message instructing you what to do on the day of arrival. Had to make phone calls to ask questions and the menu needs updating as there were things on the list that wasn’t available upon ordering.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Parking is at the doorstep to the room. We stayed in a Deluxe King room which was beautifully renovated with modern fixtures and furnishings. The freestanding bathtub was a nice luxury.

The grounds of the motel were a little overgrown and in need of some attention. The bathroom has a large opening to the bedroom (no door) which may be a privacy issue for some. There is only instant coffee available in the rooms. The restaurant is renovated but isn't open yet.

Absolutely stunning. Do not judge this hotel by the outside or you will miss out on the best hotel room you'll ever stay in. The room was HUGE and the furnishings 5 star quality. Massive king bed with fresh, clean linen. Massive bathtub, stunning bathroom. The view is amazing. I've stayed in many hotel rooms but this was the best furnished by far.

The outside needs a lot of work but the owner is aware & has started work on it.

A lovely cosy stay in a beautifully decorated roomy setting. Couldn't fault anything - very comfortable bed, huge modern bathroom with a freestanding deep bath (bath salts included) and choice of two showers, fluffy robes and slippers. Double balconies to use during fine weather. Good restaurant on site too. Also a quiet location.
