Barton House is a charming little heritage cottage, very conveniently located in central Hobart.... about 4 blocks to walk to the city, Constitution Dock, the wharfs etc. Staying in the cottage is like stepping back into pioneer times with old paintings, photos, books and furniture ... but the beds are comfy and warm, and all mod cons such as a microwave, kettle, toaster etc. are available.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jeff provided lots of useful information and was very helpful by email and phone. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet him, but we did have help from Chris who lives downstairs (quite separate) when we needed a parking permit. Although the cottage is right on the street frontage, it was very quiet. Certainly worth staying in Barton House!
