Excellent host providing great food & rooms
Host Gary is one of the loveliest and most helpful people we've ever met. The breakfast was huge and sumptuous. Everything in town was an easy walk. Hastings Caves are nearby and well worth a visit.

My husband and I stayed for three nights in this lovely B&B. The staff were extremely polite, accommodating and went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. The free breakfasts were incredibly generous and catered to my and my husband's particular food intolerances. The double room with the garden view was spacious, meticulously cleaned and includes complimentary tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom area was well organised with a lovely shower and heated towel rack. I appreciate the owners' commitment to eco friendly materials and practices without compromising comfort.
We greatly appreciated our hosts' support in allowing and assisting us to prepare our own meals using the charcoal BBQ and utensils they provided from their personal kitchen. We made some delicious food while enjoying the southern Tasmanian ambience. It was a wonderful alternative to the limited number of dining out options in Dover and surrounds.

Gary was an excellent host and so knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast was delightful. The room we stayed in was a little small as was the bathroom. Shower gel is always more preferable to soap too. An enjoyable short stay and a lovely property. Thanks for your help Gary!

5 star for every facet of this wonderful accommodation. The hosts are fantastic, the location is beautiful and the breakfast is outstanding. We cannot recommend this place enough, and that comes from a very fussy couple who enjoy the best that life can offer.

This is the best place to stay in Dover. Gary is welcoming and looks after your every need. He will even book your dinner in town as dining options are limited in Dover. The southern part of Tasmania is isolated and it is very interesting to explore. Gary prepares a wonderful cooked breakfast too. He even has homemade tomato sauce. This was our second visit and we will come back again.

Does not disappoint.
This was a wonderful surprise. We do not normally do B&B, but with the good reviews we thought we woud give it a try. Ashdowns did not disappoint. First communication after booking was a welcome, and to find out if we had any specific dietry requirements. On the day of our arrival, Gary sent an SMS to check our ETA and ask if he could book a restaurant for dinner for us. He was very welcoming on our arrival and detailed the features of the property. The following morning, the included cooked breakfast was fabulous. A wide choice and well cooked. Gary is a great host and easy to talk to. Overall a great stay.
