Lovely house and seeing
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here with family and friends over Xmas. The gardens are lovely and we sat out under a tree and enjoyed the views and serenity. Plenty of beds, 2 bathrooms, 3 toilets. If you want a country feeling holiday, this is perfect. Launceston is only 25 minutes away and Longford even closer.

Perfection
The Homestead was just perfect for our stay while attending a day time wedding function. Our Family ranging in Ages from 80 to 18 found the space perfect with some rooms further away for quiet and privacy and then the multiple bed space upstairs was great for the younger members. Property Managers were extremely helpful and approachable. Highly recommend staying here. Beautiful grounds

What a big house
After squashed in caravan park cabins the night before, we were all excited when we stepped into this big farm house. It was clean and tidy with everything we needed. Plenty of space inside and outside of the house for the young and old to enjoy a nice stay.

Amazing Experience!
What an amazing property ! I was fortunate enough to hold my fathers 50th at Clayfield Homestead and I honestly couldn't of picked a better venue. The homestead was immaculate when we arrived, beautiful scenery, plenty of bedding for everyone, had plenty of space for the kids to run around and we had an amazing host. Angela was great to deal with and a huge help! She was more than happy to cater for anything we required for the party and was always very quick to get back to me if I had any questions. Thanks again Angela, we had a great time ! Hope to stay again sometime soon :)

Enjoyable Experience of 10 people on a Homestead
The Clayfield Homestead is a huge house which can easily fit a big family of 10, like ours very comfortably. It is set a bit far away from the city centre of Launceston but that is its beauty. It gives you a new experience of being part of a working farm and residing on its edges. The house has been tastefully restored by the owners Angela and Malcolm. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs both with huge beds and lots of open space. Then there is a loft bedroom with a double bed and a dormitory style of sleeping which has a further 8 beds. The house is clean, tidy and well maintained. The rose garden outside and the lawn provides you with a very tranquil atmosphere. The fully equipped kitchen is very helpful when you have to cater for a big happy, hungry family. Having three toilets and 2 bathroom also is a benefit. Being a home away from home the owners also provide you with a washing machine and dryer. As it is a working farm, one can see cattle and sheep just outside ones door, in a very well fenced off area. This also adds to the excitement of being away from the city. My children really enjoyed this aspect of the farm. The owners Angela and Malcolm are there to help and advice you. The nearest supermarket was in Longford which is a mere 10 -15mins car ride away. One however needs to be prepared for living on farm in terms of insects and animals. Also the road leading to this property is a gravel road which is a big bumpy in the car. My family of ten which included 2 grandpas (both over 80 ), and overseas guest, really enjoyed our stay . We wish to thank Angela and her family for letting us use this beautiful home . Both of them are very response and extremely helpful to make our stay a very comfortable one.

Absolutely Stunning Accommodation & views
Myself & 3 friends wanted to stay somewhere special for a girls weekend away & birthday celebration. Clayfield House did not disappoint! It's just beautiful and in a magnificent setting. The owners left a surprise for our birthday girl which was a lovely gesture. Plenty of bedrooms, comfortable beds & 2 big bathrooms, we couldn't have had a better setup. Looking forward to returning with our husbands but we really didn't want to leave. Thank you
