Step back in time and experience a nostalgic visit to a period house. Mark and Richard were exceptional hosts from their knowledge of the history of the house, to their personal little touches which included a sumptuous breakfast. We could not have asked for a better stay away.

This place is a divine little gem. Richard and Mark have thoughtfully created a beautiful, classy escape in the Hunter Valley. It’s antique furnishings capture the heritage era of the home and the gardens are tranquil and relaxing. Everything is designed with love and you can feel this the minute you enter the grounds. The hospitality is amazing. Breakfast healthy and delicious. Little touches like port and chocolates as a nightcap. Our bedroom was comfortable and inviting and the bathroom lovely. A shuttle service was a wonderful addition that was provided for us as we were attending a concert at one of the estates. Mark was our driver and had a lovely, warm demeanour and we felt very safe. All in all a wonderful stay and my two daughters and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. We’d recommend Leconfield House to anyone. Thank you Richard and Mark !…

Leconfield House is beautiful- set in the hills just outside Branxton - close to excellent wineries. Richard and Mark were the most amazing hosts. Nothing was too much trouble - they even looked after our friends who happened to drop in. It felt like we were staying with family. The breakfast was delicious - all hand made using many products direct from the garden. The rooms are all very well appointed and spacious. The hosts have a real eye for detail. Everything is perfect. I would highly recommend Leconfield House .

From the time we booked until the time we drove away, Richard & Marc were the ultimate hosts... nothing was a trouble. We can't promise you this but it shows their care, we each drove away with some farm-fresh eggs! This was a truly delightful stay, with warm, friendly service and I can't wait to come back for the breakfast alone!!!

From welcome drinks to the amazing furnishings and treasures, home cooked brekkies and stunning views Richard and Mark have created an incredible getaway experience. Their hospitality is perfect. The little touches like homemade soap and choccies with port along with farm fresh eggs on departure just made it so wonderful. We will be back in a heartbeat.

Delightful. We received a warm welcoming on arrival and provided a lovely tour of the house and amenities. We went out for dinner and when we arrived back we were greeted with port and chocolates in the parlour, a lovely way to end our day. What a beautiful place to wake up looking over the dairy farm in the morning while we enjoyed our breakfast. Spectacular service from kindhearted hosts. We will choose to come here instead of large hotels moving forward. 10/10

Beautiful Rural B&B Retreat in the Hunter Valley NSW...just 20 mins drive north of Pokolbin. So much attention the detail, comfy bed, beautiful luxury bathroom, night cap, full breakfast with home grown and local produce. We cannot fault Leconfield House. Our hosts were so attentive and their hospitality amazing. The little extras made our experience so enjoyable. Thank you again.
