The accommodation was well presented, clean & well equipped. A perfect place to relax & take it easy, in a secluded spot with easy access to Launceston and beyond.

I was by myself but great for a couple too. It's small but well equipped with a great shower and comfy bed. Melissa is a great host, and I had a bottle of wine and some scones on arrival! I know the area very well and Palmers Lodge is in an ideal location for days out to the many beaches, coves, villages and attractions in the area. Highly recommended!
