Quality stay
Beautiful setting with a landscaped pool.
Room was large. Next time I would ask for a room facing inwards towards the pool just to minimise street noise.
Good restaurant (breakfast and dinner) upstairs at the pub next door.
A great place to visit and a pleasant place to stay.

Loved the location for easy access to walkway, bowls & RSL Club. Cooktown was an amazing place to visit with so much history. The Sovereign was a real treat to stay at, the amenities were great, clean and tidy-worth the money to stay.
