Description

Beccles on Margaret B and B (Formerly known as Worsley on Margaret B and B) was described as ""best in golden west"" by Sunday Mail Escape's feature writer, Alison Cotes '52 Weekends Away'.

Beccles is one of the finest examples of a custom Queensland bungalow. Built in 1938 and lovingly restored (2003 by its former owners and again in 2005 and 2008 by the present owners) to its former glory but with the addition of modern facilities. Beccles is located in a Heritage Conservation Precinct, a peaceful leafy setting, near the top of the Great Dividing Range (700 metres above sea level); quite simply, it is ""luxury accommodation at altitude"".

The perfect romantic or business getaway with a leisurely 15 minute walk down Margaret Street to Central Business District; you may wish to take a short break along the way to enjoy a coffee in one of the heritage restaurants and/or browse through one of the many antique shops in this beautiful garden city. Three minute walk to St. Vincents Hospital and Private Schools. There is off-street covered parking, sensational breakfast, finest guest amenities, top shelf linen, private guest entrance. Your home away from home.

Cancellation of the booking within four to seven days of arrival will require 50 per cent payment; cancellation of the booking three days or less of arrival and no shows will result in full payment of one to two nights depending on number of nights booked.

Further Details:
Beccles on Margaret B&B is privately owned with the owners Robyn and Bob Dealtry living on-site. The property was named after the town of Beccles; a market town located approximately 160 kilometres northeast of London in Suffolk, where Bob's forebears on his mother's side of the family hailed.
What is the origin of the name Beccles, I hear you ask and why was the spot chosen for a settlement around 960AD? The name Beccles means 'pasture by the stream'; and standing on the edge of a high cliff, the position would have appeared to the early settlers as an ideal spot for defence against their enemies, with ample supplies of food to be obtained from the surrounding waters and countryside.
Somewhat similar to the location of Toowoomba, 700 metres above sea level on the edge of the Great Dividing Range and the gateway to the Darling Downs.

All major credit cards and cash accepted, however, kindly note that if paying by credit card please add four per cent to the total bill to cover cost of merchant and terminal access fees.
