Loaring Place Bed and Breakfast

I recently stayed here for a two-night photography trip from 16–18 May, and it was one of the worst accommodation experiences I have ever had. There is a massive difference between a professionally run business and a place where you feel like an intruder in someone's private space. The issues started immediately at arrival. There was no greeting or warm welcome, instead, a lady met me at the door and abruptly asked if I was "supposed to be there, if I had my name written on the door." I was then told to find my name on a sticky note on the door to figure out my room. Because no check-in process took place, I was never given any basic information, including breakfast times. I ended up skipping breakfast entirely because I didn't even know if my booking included it. The lack of basic hospitality continued throughout the stay. On my second night, the husband stopped me outside as I was trying to park my car and suspiciously asked if I even had a booking there, proving they don't even bother to track who is currently paying to stay on their property. The rooms themselves do not match the premium price point. I found used shampoo containers left behind in the bathroom on my first day, the towels were so old and faded that they looked khaki-grey rather than white, and my bed was completely left unmade after my first night. As a photographer, I spent almost all of my daylight hours and some of my night time out shooting landscapes and wildlife. When I posted a brief 1-star review elsewhere reflecting this experience, the owners responded publicly with outright lies and personal insults, calling me a "strange fish with issues" and tracking my movements, claiming I was "hiding in my car." The only time they actually saw me in my car was on my final morning when they walked past me with their dogs on a public crescent down the street while I was looking for bird activity. Potential guests should look past the marketing photos. If you leave honest feedback here, the owners will not hesitate to insult you, make false assumptions about your personal behavior, and violate your privacy. Save your money and stay at a professional hotel and accommodation that actually respects paying guests regardless of who they are and where they come from.

Lovely stay at this B&b. Perfect for a weekend away. Hosted wonderfully. Room was comfy. The house is in a perfect quiet area. Loved watching the birds at breakfast and the homemade honey ! Would definitely recommend :)

We stayed here for only one night but really wish we could have stayed for longer. What a beautiful and peaceful place. The hosts Dirk and Pam were really welcoming and gave us some of the honey from their bees when we left. 5 minutes from the beach and surf spots and restaurants and only 10 mins from Margret River main town which is lovely. The breakfast was great and the rooms spacious with a huge bathroom which includes a shaker and double spar bath with jets… what more could you want.
