Mount Bryan Hotel

Did not enjoy this hotel at all. The owners did not seem interested at all with our stay. Worst customer service we have ever received. Do yourself a favor. Drive straight though.

I brought my Mother here for lunch after doing some business in Clare. (Need to book for a meal in advance). This Pub has a lot of Country charm, but is also very well decorated and appointed. The food was restaurant quality, I had a massive T Bone & Mum had the Salmon. (She was raving about it on the way home!) After lunch we obtained the key from Kymm & drove out to Mt Bryan East to see Sir Hubert Wilkins Cottage & the Mt Bryan East school - both worth a look, with Dare Hill Summit. On return of the key we stopped for a coffee. Kymm makes a great coffee! Certainly a Pub I would go out of my way to visit.

Having recently read the latest publication covering the life of Sir Hubert Wilkins (Australia's greatest 'unsung hero) a visit to his birthplace was a must. Wilkins was born at Mount Bryan SA late in the eighteen hundreds into a large family all housed in a modest stone cottage which has been faithfully restored.. The 'town' of Mount Bryan is for practical purposes the pub and to our delight offered accommodation and dining. All details were provided on the phone by the delightful Symon, however we had only a 'clue' as to what to expect, Arrangements were made and we arrived mid afternoon in glorious weather and a warm welcome from Symon. We were ushered into the dining room with its open fire burning followed by a guided tour of all this beautiful pub has to offer. A few beers in the 'atmospheric' bar and then a magnificent dinner in the sumptuous dining room was to say the least memorable. Kyme in the mean time was filling in so many details about Sir Hubert we could hardly believe his knowledge. Kyme is a 'local' and is a wealth of information about this beautiful part of South Australia. Comfy beds in cosy bedrooms and a beautiful (cooked) breakfast in the dining room with once again the open fire burning on the sunny but cool morning. Kyme gave us all the information regarding the original cottage together with the key required for entry. The mount Bryan area has much to offer and who better than Kyme to pass on all the details.Back to the pub for a farewell 'drop' with Kyme and Symon then off to the nearby Clare Valley, just a short drive away. We are still talking about the Mount Bryan hotel, it is truly a gem and a visit if you are in the area is a must. This is a beautiful historic hotel in spectacular country and run to perfection by Kyme and Symon, we are counting the days till we return for another visit. Well done!!!

We stopped in on our way to the Flinders Ranges as we wanted to visit the birthplace of Sir Hubert Wilkins the legendary Australian Explorer.We stayed for a chat with one of the publicans and his mother. Simon and Pat.Both were great characters.Pat tells a great story and is always up for a chat.Simon recommended the steak sandwich. Mine was with the lot and it is truly the best I have ever had.Back onto the road to the Flinders we were raving about the flavours and textures as we could still taste it.If you wish to visit the birthplace of an amazing Australian they will lend you the key to the restored cottage. Definitely stay for a bite.

Wanted to walk to the summit of Mt Bryan and booked a room at the nearby pub. Completely exceeded our expectations! Simon, Kymm and Dot's hospitality is second to none. The place is interesting, very eclectic, lots of local history, open fire in the dining room, the bed was comfy, shower was hot and the food was really great! If you're after something more than just a bed, you'll not be disappointed.
