VISITOR'S BOOK - TESTIMONIALS
David, USA
When
traveling on business I rarely
stay at B&B's, but for my
future visits to Mudgee, business
or pleasure, I look forward
to enjoying both your wonderful
accommodations and your warm
hospitality. Whether it was
the Internet access or the private
coffee cafe or the peaceful
and beautiful landscapes surrounding
the property I felt The Ardrossan
offered everything I could have
wanted or needed. I also have
to say that most valuable was
your knowledge of the local
wine industry both for the business
I was conducting on my trip
and as well for my personal
pleasure as I left with quite
a few world class wines based
on your recommendations. I am
truly looking forward to seeing
you on my next trip to Mudgee
wine country.
Warmest regards,
David.

Ardrossan is a slice of heaven, a
home away from home, for this wandering
American family thanks to B&B
owners Susan and Ed Delong. With so
much to experience in this newly discovered
wine country, Susan delighted us with
knowledge of the local lore, past
and present. For giant orange sunsets,
quiet countryside entertainments and
a perfect cup of tea... or coffee...
the Ardrossan won't disappoint. We
were sorry to have to leave so soon
and return to our ever-green Catskill
Mountains but we'll be back.

Ardrossan
was the first of our good decisions
in relation to our Mudgee trip, especially
your welcome and our breakfasts -
others were dinner at the Blue Wren,
the Saturday markets; Andrew Harris
and the Farmer's Daughter wineries,
the Gulgong Museum; St Marys Church;
the Country Lane Antique Shop; Butcher
Shop Cafe; walk along the streets
of Mudgee township; lunch at the Railway
Station; the views of the surrounding
countryside; our pub crawl; and our
stops in between - sandwiches at Sandy
Hollow, the old cemetery at Jerry's
Plains and the Packer "Ranch"
nearby. An enriching three days that
we enjoyed very much.
Thanks for your assistance at the
planning stages and for your thoughtfulness
while there. The memories will linger
as we tell stories to our friends
and as we talk about the trip together.
In fact, we are having dinner with
colleagues tonight at an Italian restaurant
so you can be assured Mudgee and Ardrossan
will be mentioned, as we plant seeds
that others we know should contemplate
a trip like ours.
All the very best and thanks again
for the important part that you and
Ardrossan played in the success of
our trip to Mudgee.

"Dear Susan and Ed,
We had a wonderful rest of our trip.
And so we are home, basking in the
memories and looking at the photos.
Some of our very best memories are
the 24 hours we spent with you. What
fun to put you two in a place, to
meet Chavaleh, to see Mudgee and to
find kangaroos and explore the wineries.
We feel so good about the two of you.
Mudgee is an enchanting place to live.
Definitely an Australian destination.
Thank you so much for showing us such
a wonderful time. I have no photo,
but one of the pictures vivid in my
mind is the delightful tour of Gulgong,
coming home to gin and tonics, then
wine and the late dinner prepared
by you and Chavaleh, your charming
guests and then....on cue.....the
almost full moon rise right through
the middle of your trees over the
patio as the grand finale. It was
perfect! That picture will last longer
than any of the photos I have. I also
think about our leisurely breakfast
the next day, the wineries, art gallery,
and shops where you and Ed know everybody.
The lunch in the patio garden was
divine and the sunshine sparkling.
I appreciated your gardens, they are
just lovely, the roses so regal and
the border soft with unusual textures,
colors and shapes. I know how much
work it all takes and don't know how
you keep up. The other memory of which
I have no photo is your bird feeder
morning, noon and night with the many
varieties of exotic wonderful birds
which visit you.
That was amazing enough to make a
special trip. Thank you for staying
in touch, we're so glad we finally
got to Australia and wouldn't have
missed Mudgee for anything. It is
a charming town, and you two are the
perfect ambassadors. Have a wonderful
New Year and thank you for ending
our 2004 so perfectly. We treasure
the memories.
Love Dru and Maurie." |
