We had a lovely long-weekend stay at Holgate. The rooms were clean, comfortable and reasonably spacious. There was also a lot of natural light and fresh air that came through the windows. Were our room was specifically we good hear some noise every 10-15mins, however it really just felt like white noise and wasn't a big deal. The restaurant downstairs has great quality standard pub food, the beer is what stands out and cannot be faulted. Very convenient location, walking distance to everything in town including parks, Coles and the bakery.

A good counrty pub with a brewery situated in a nice little town.

It was a beautiful period building and room with high ceilings and character. The room was clean and the staff were terrific. The bed was VERY firm and their was a loud vibration noise for approximately 5 minutes every 15-20 minutes through out the night. Also the only cooling in the room was a ceiling fan, it wasn't an overly hot night (10 degrees outside) but we found the room quiet warm and could be very warm on a hotter night.

Holgate brewery is a charming place to stay in the middle of Woodend. It is very noisy due to the brewing processes but otherwise a good stay.

My partner and I really liked staying at the Holgate Brew House for the weekend. Woodend is beautiful. We thought the staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the beer and we tried them all. Thanks to James and Nick for the great service. We celebrated my partner’s birthday in the new addition behind the micro brewery. Everyone enjoyed the get together and drank the unique and tasty beers and ate the delicious snack food. We will be back!

Spent 2 nights here. Staff were great, friendly. The room was old pub style, done up a few years back, a bit of paint cracking around skirts and doors, but that adds to the charm of this type of accommodation (like the small squeak on the staircase as you walk up - lol). We ate here as well - food was great (some may say a bit slow, but we were not in a hurry). Breakfast was included (was some basic breakfast items left in the room for you to look after yourself). If you wanted a hot breakfast, maybe that is available (didn't need it), but a few cafe's around that you could go to for that as well. The rooms don't have AC, but have tall ceilings, and a ceiling fan, it was 25 to 28 deg both days, didn't feel the need for AC either day or night. The rooms are upstairs, so open a window, let the breeze in if you like. The location was perfect - right in the middle of town basically. They have an onsite Brewhouse as well, so you can try some of their beers too ! Woodend is not a big town, so you can walk to everything ... enough shops to keep us happy. Day trip out we went to Kyneton ~ lunch at SOFO (Social Foundry) ... great food ! ... winery stop at Hanging Rock (have to do that !). All in all a great place to stay for a night (or in our case 2).

Plenty of character. Kept in great condition for the age of the place

Love the historic building, the rooms are large with adjoining bathrooms (full size bath!!) . Excellent staff, very friendly and efficient, would definitely stay for a third time!!

In house brewery, great range of craft beers and local wines , excellent food and exceptional service provided by friendly attentive staff. Service provided by Zoe and others was outstanding

The location was great. Could walk to cafes and restaurants easily.

Hotel and seevices fine. No record of iur booking with expedia. Manager saced the day and dgaring room with friends. Caused some anxiety for other guests.

Noisy location at night when trying to sleep and the showers had cold water. Very basic.

I was pleasantly surprised, the room was big and warm as it was winter and I had a great view looking down the main street of Woodend. Plentiful continental breakfast on the Saturday morning and nice hot breakfast on Sunday with plenty of choice. Friendly and helpful staff. Well done! I’ll be back next year

Comfortable room close to town centre.

Nice hotel but needs a bit of TLC. Small items such bathroom light globe needs replacing. Bathroom door needed adjustment. In general not to bad and reasonable for our needs.

The Holgate is an old hotel with the beautiful wooden floors and old fashioned hotel rooms. We had stayed there 9 years ago and enjoyed it. Our room was neat but very warm - no air-conditioning (which can be a good thing regarding an authentic feel for the past). However, the window sashes were broken (the bathroom window had a bolt to hold it open), the bath was dirty (we went to Coles to get bath cleaner). The dining room breakfast was disgraceful - the worst breakfast we have had. Inedible. The staff seemed to think that it was funny that we did not finish eating our meals (we had a few mouthfuls - dry, no butter on the toast with poached eggs, and a 30 minute wait). My complaint to the 'manager' brought faux sympathy. Such as shame that the Holgate is spending up big on new restaurant/bar next to its brewery, but is letting the accommodation rundown. They obviously don't care - too much money in the brewery. One has to wonder about the quality of the beer as time goes by. We have stayed at many hotels both within Australia and overseas - the Holgate gets the winning vote for "the management and staff really don't care about the hotel guests"

Holgate Brewhiuse offers old world charm with. 21st century facilites. Rooms were spacious and comfortable and only minutes walk to all woodend has to offer. Whisky I don't eat at the pic, the memo liked great, you could even go downstairs and watch the Brewers at work. Definetley going to stay there again.

Overall our stay was good,rooms are a bit dated but clean and worked well for our needs. The bar has a great range of boutique beers and a great wine list,meals in the bistro are also very good.
