Melville was one of the best appointed places we've stayed.If you needed it it was there already, no asking. The staff were some of the most friendly you could encounter.
We'll definable be back.

Beautiful herritage home built early 1900's by Lismores first doctor. They have gone to great lengths to preserve the original building & style. Great value, clean, friendly staff, decent breakfast and brilliant shared kitchen. It will be interesting to see if Melville House continues to hold the high standard & care it's previous owner dedicated her life to.

Character of the home. A true classic. A bit of a walk into town if you dont want to drive. Couldnt get any sound out of TV but only watched tennis and dont normally have sound on anyway.

Melville house has got character and charm so it’s quite unique. It’s very good value, easily accessible, clean room with all the facilities you need. There’s continental breakfast. A large pool and garden which is very pleasant. Would definitely come again if was waiting to stay in Lismore or surrounds.
