Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
What a wonderful surprise this place was. It starts with the staff at check in. Fabulous guy, friendly and helpful, even a short walk outside pointing out eateries and coffee places nearby. Then the newly done east wing rooms are knockout. We had a king kitchenette and it was great; modern and clean. Lots of nice touches - one in particular was the next morning near the carpark there is a fresh bucket with a windscreen washer in it. Perfect for travellers and our car needed it! There’s a lovely guest lounge also. Highly recommend this hotel.

I was in Armidale for 2 weeks for work and after initially only booking for a few nights, decided to stay here the whole time. I had a few different rooms and they were all very modern and clean. It is 5 minutes walk to the centre of Armidale, there are food options nearby and the owners were very helpful and friendly.

We enjoyed a very pleasant and comfortable night at the Country Comfort. The room was clean and we felt very safe.
The motel is close to the town centre and we went out for food as the motels restaurant was closed. Instead we went to The White Bull restaurant/pub which had a very good selection of food at a reasonable price.
All in all an enjoyable one night stay with a very friendly owner on site.

Best motel experience ever, Peter and his team have just got everything done well . From the moment we walked into reception until we checked out we were amazed and delighted with everything, the rooms have been styled to perfection with little amenities and attention to detail thoughtfully designed. Congratulations on your warm country hospitality and accommodation.

I was in town to attend a work function and chose to stay here due to its proximity to the meeting. This motel exceeded my expectations, the recently refurbished rooms were fantastic, the little touches like electric blanket, door draft stopper, fantastic soaps and shampoo. The staff were extremely friendly on check in, I didn't try the restaurant which is located next to the hotel, but heard extremely positive things.
I would definitely return to this place, and recommend it to others.

The Country Comfort Armidale was top notch. Freshly renovated, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and quiet. Upon check in the staff were warm and helpful, offering recommendations on where to go for an early morning coffee and which places would require a booking for dinners etc. Ample parking onsite and easy walking distance to plenty of options. We will definitely be booking this place again when we pass through Armidale.

Stayed in an updated room. Room was well appointed and comfortable. Bed was very good, though the comforter was too heavy and warm for the temperature in the room. Bathroom was clean, tidy and up to date. No security chain on the door though. We liked that they provided a windscreen squeegee for the cars, very appreciated.

Was surprised to find this little gem of a hotel, and will definitely be staying here again when visiting Armidale. It’s not a fancy place - but the owners and cleaning staff are friendly, kind and courteous- and you can see that they genuinely care about their guests having a good stay. From the extra milk and cookies for my little one to the heads up we could check out a little later on Christmas Day as there was no cleaning staff coming through - the owners really love their place and are happy to have you there…

Great little country motel with very friendly staff and modern comfortable rooms.
The motel is situated in the middle of town within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants.
The rooms were spacious. I did book two rooms, one for my wife and I and one for my daughter, and when i asked which was the better room, the staff said they were exactly the same. Unfortunately (for my wife and I) they were not as my daughter's room had extra features like a heated bathroom, and microwave (Room 6), which my room, room 1 didn't.

I’ve stayed at this hotel a number of times over a 15 year period. This stay was a pleasing surprise when i found my room had been recently renovated. The new room was very well done - fresh, clean and every thing i needed. The owner Peter was very helpful and even walked me into the carpark to point me to the room. The hotel is well located to the town centre. I stay in Armidale a bit and will now be making this hotel my preferred property.
