A superb Airbnb, like staying in a magazine or a (stylish) museum, one of the best we have ever stayed in. The restoration is fantastic and sensitively done, the furniture and decor absolutely stunning. Extremely cozy and warm with the woodfire, comfortable beds and linen. Appreciated the lovely coffee and other little touches like a home made bath salts mix with spices. Also appreciated the eco-friendly ethos very much. The Butcher's House epitomises the best of Airbnb - someone very talented investing in restoring or building something precious (that in this case might otherwise go to ruin) and sharing it with others.

For food, Sealy's cafe a short walk away (as recommended by the host) is wonderful, and we also managed to wrangle an excellent dinner at nearby Ratho farm (generally only available when they don't have many guests). Bothwell to us is a quintessentially Tasmanian town - not always picturesque, but friendly and characterful (eg during our stay, the pub was full of wallaby hunters passing through, and we impulse purchased some rare-breed chickens spotted over a fence from a passionate breeder!). The midlands/highlands area is beautiful in its own quiet way and worth some time on a Tasmanian itinerary.
Many thanks for a marvellous stay.
