Providing quality service comes naturally to our staff at The Carrington. Come visit the Inn and enjoy our authentic care for your comfort. Care, without a huge price attached, which is uncommon in this 21^st Century.

Upon your arrival, you will be greeted by a warm and congenial Guest Service staff member, who is eager to get you settled as soon as possible.  As you walk under an open verandah to your room, you’ll begin to shrug off the burdens of work or travel.

On the way to your room with windows that open to fresh air and the sound of native birds, you may smell fresh mown grass and fragrant vintage roses and lavender growing along the path for you.

After you refresh in your room, stroll through Elm Park, the Inn’s private garden on your way to The TOM WILLS Tavern for some refreshing drinks and tapas share-plates, or the Wintergarden dining rooms for a wholesome and satisfying meal.  A Guest Service Assistant would be happy to provide you a tour of the Inn and share with you some of the background information about the 130-year-old property.

Having a pleasant arrival at The Carrington Inn Bungendore is but one example of the staffs’ effort to make each and every guest’s stay as delightful as possible.
