Not much breakfast choice. Could be cleaner and is fairly noisey when others staying at same time. However it is an interesting old building which I really enjoyed wandering around. Nice warm electric blankets. Clearly used for regular school parties so has that shabby dorm feeling.

Do not mistake the Priory for the Hilton, it isn't. However, it is clean, comfortable, a really interesting building with very relaxed and friendly staff. It is great value for your money. The place is set up for group stays, be they a huge school camp or a small group of cyclists. Not the place to stay with your wife... More

Stayed here in Oct12. Shared bathroom and refurbished to the standard of a scout camp, with beds as good as you'll find in any government refugee camp. Sorry you holiness I hope you won't excommunicate me but it is what it is! Cheap and good for a night away with the boys and if you can convince your girlfriend to... More

Our pipe band recently performed at the Amulet Winery Highland Games and need accommodation in nearby Beechworth for a couple of nights. The Old Priory made an excellent location for us. It is a huge and sprawling Victorian era building, with one central dining room where you can catch up with your mates, as well as other visitors to town.... More

I read a number of favourable and unfavourable reviews before staying in one of the Miners' Cottages at The Priory. But we found it quite reasonable. It is less expensive than most B&B accommodation in Beechworth, and you get what you pay for. The room was fine, the bath/shower a little idiosyncratic, the breakfast basic, the location convenient and the... More

What a wonderful old building quite a surprise, I went to a convent boarding school and wandering the halls took me way back. Clean, warm and friendly a unique visit and added to the visit to Beechworth. Definitely light on service and amenities, communal bathrooms which lack a little privacy and I was caught in the shower when someone switched... More

A bit of research found a bed (bathroom down the hall) and continental breakfast available at The Old Priory... formerly known as the Brigidine convent of Mt. St. Joseph, located in Beechworth, Australia. We chose the budget accommodation price. The website confirmed that it is a huge beautiful building, and would be an excellent experience.

Beechworth is a place where you can see some different sights: gold mines, prison, charming shops, star watching, koalas, kangaroos and vineyards. There are also some excellent biking routes with excellent hills for the toughest bikers. In the midst of it all is the Old Priory, 200 meters from the main street. It is a low cost dormitory with varying... More
