“Super friendly restaurant service. We went to Flock at the Carrington.. not stay at the Inn as we have a home :-) the food was amazing, the atmosphere great and we really liked the attitude and responsiveness of the wait staff. Food not just your usual grief stuff but real food. The steamed veg were perfect unlike other places where it's woody and tastless. I had prawns hot pot, we had cheesy garlic bread. So yummy, and also we had chicken schnitzel. A glass of wine each rounded off a really enjoyable meal near an open fire. Thank you”

“Our time at the Carrington Inn in Bungendore was wonderful. The rooms were comfortable and functional, with a small kitchenette, large smart TV, large bathroom, and comfortable beds. The venue itself was beautiful, surrounded by courtyards, large trees and a large variety of roses. The staff and the service were outstanding, and I cannot thank Kim enough for her assistance. This also applies to the neighboring pub the Flock. Beautiful venue, great food and wonderful staff. About 30-40 minutes away from Canberra central.”

“The Carrington Inn is ideally situated in the middle of Bungendore town. Our king size bed was super comfortable and our shower especially the water flow was The Best.. However, we stayed two nights and our room was not serviced. At all! We needed fresh towels and our bed serviced and for $300 per night thought this would be included!”

“What a wonderful experience we had at The Carrington Inn, Bungendore. From the moment of booking to the end of our stay, everything was handled with ease and professionalism. The entire process, from reservation to check-in, was seamless. The staff were exceptionally attentive and responsive; we received prompt confirmation of our booking and clear communication throughout. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by our lovely host, who made us feel immediately welcome. To our delight, we discovered that my good friend and colleague Kim had kindly called ahead to arrange a late checkout for us, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Our lovely host took the time to give us a tour of the property, and we were truly captivated by the breathtaking scenery. The beautifully maintained gardens were a highlight, neat, vibrant, and simply stunning to look at. Thank you, for your warm hospitality and for making our stay at The Carrington Inn such a memorable and relaxing experience. We look forward to returning soon.”
