Was so amazed by all the detail and work that had been put into the property. The garden is exquisite and there were even baby ducklings! We stayed in the Jarrah room and it was very comfortable and had everything you would expect or want. Very clean. The staff were so accomodating. I forgot to bring my own herbal tea and the lady found some wonderful choices and let me take them all back to the house. Breakfast was perfect! Ten out of ten. The room was a fairy wonderland and the table setting was lovely. Bacon and eggs with toast and home made jams and a pot of tea. What more could you ask for!

The only thing I could possibly pick at would be the shower pressure and jiggling between hot and cold to find the right temperature. However, the bathroom was very clean and had everything you could need.

We stayed just the one night in one of the en suite rooms in the two-bedroom, more modern, house with shared kitchen and lounge room. Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to spend in the house so didn't get to use the kitchen etc. It would be ideal for two couples who know each other to stay for a few nights. Our room was spacious and beautifully appointed. Electric blankets on the bed were welcomed on a cool night to heat the sheets. It was quiet and private. We got to know the couple in the adjacent room over breakfast at the long table in the delightful room filled with giftware. Brekkie was okay. I don't like a hot breakfast but my partner enjoyed his bacon and eggs. The staff were generous in finding me some non-white bread to toast rather than what was offered.

Would have liked a wider selection of breakfast items, perhaps different cereals or fresh fruit, the option of an omelette maybe.

What a gorgeous place! It’s several buildings on the large property surrounded by beautiful gardens. And the shops! I have never in all my travels seen anything like it. There are several spaces absolutely filled to the brim with gifts to purchase. From Christmas and Easter decorations to soaps, garden items, linen, toys, crockery etc etc. Breakfast is in one of the “shops” where there is a massive table made up with gorgeous linen and so many little ornaments, we felt like we were in a movie set. Breakfast itself was also gorgeous with freshly baked bread, bacon, eggs, compotes, yoghurt, coffee, tea etc. The room we stayed in was the JT room and we also had use of the “living room” which was completely self contained and looked out over gardens and the river. We enjoyed strolling around the gardens and admiring all the details. In the morning we admired all the birds and different ducks and ducklings. The photos I’ve added to the review show the breakfast room.

I would have given this lovely place a 10 if the beds would have been a bit better. Whenever my husband moved the bed shook me awake and it moved on the wheels. That wouldn’t stop me on returning cause the rest of the place totally makes up for this.

We loved the honeymoon suite,it's situated on the bank (well not quite on the bank) of the Blackwood River an gave such a peaceful an relaxing view and atmoshpere,which is exactly what we needed after attending a loved ones funeral. The gardens ,the staff, the service ,the room and a hot breakfast were all top notch an couldn't of asked for better place to stay. Management here could of been asking top dollar for our time here,the fact it didn't burn a hole in the hip pocket,was a God send at this particular time an we're ever so grateful. We'll definitely stay again an we would definitely recommend to family an friends. Thank you to all the staff for a beautiful stay at such a hard time. It will be long remembered an much appreciated.

There wasn't a thing we didn't like all though a later checkout would of been good but hey, who's complaining?

Very clean rooms and kitchen etc; huge bed was very comfortable (we were in the ballroom suite). The grounds and gardens are beautiful and obviously well cared for. A bonus is the ability to stroll down to the river through the garden, where there is a number of seating options to take in the tranquility and the sunsets! The breakfasts are amazing - plunger coffee, home made bread and yoghurt, bottled fruits, bacon and eggs - all set at a long table within (and amongst) the gift store - very quirky but this is the point of difference and sets it apart. I would definitely recommend.

Not a lot to dislike. Perhaps brighter bedside lamps to enable reading for those who might like to?

we liked the country feel to the place. the staff were very welcoming and friendly, the breakfast was fantastic with bacon and eggs being popular. the room we were in was the delaportes suite, it was lovely and cosy. the gardens are beautifully kept. we loved the christmas themed room where we sat and ate breakfast, yes theres a lot of things to look at in there but we loved it. the ducks are friendly and roam the gardens too. the gingerbread house is very cute, we just loved everything about ford house, we will definately stay here again.

the only gripe we have is the shower. we found it very small and tight. this could have been made a little bigger and the glass shelf in it maybe should be raised up to near the shower rose to give more room to move.

Fabulous. The hpuse and grounds are breathtaking. The hpuse is a little bit of magic tucked away from the world surrounded in flowers and beauty. He room was beautiful. The staff were lovely especially the lovely man at breakfast who was so friendly and interesting and thoughtful. Loved our 1 night away with my mum. Will definitely be back. Just need to do afternoon tea, scones and tea in the garden to make it even more perfect 👌 please please 🙏

The staff were very lovely. The house is very historical, and some beautiful pieces are on display. Rooms were very tidy and clean. Well decorated with a lot of historical things The breakfast and service were beautiful. The room was so pretty, with all the Christmas decorations about. where we had breakfast. You felt you in Santas workshop. You need a good few hours to wander through all the beautiful things on display and for sale. The breakfast staff did an amazing job serving and cooking the bacon and eggs, tea and coffee. Its a real treasure trove with so many things to look at .Worth a visit to wander through all the buildings .

My room was right next to the bathroom and the toilet was in line with my head. So, every time someone went to the toilet you would hear them tinkle away. One toilet and bathroom is not enough for a full house. The shower was dribbly and not enough pressure. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay, and the staff were amazing.

Nice location on the edge of town with all facilities within easy walking distance. We had a room in the delightful "plantation style" bungalow (there are several buildings) which was large &, well-equipped. Comfortable sitting room, kitchen area and outside seating area shared with one other room. Good breakfast served in quirky setting of part of the retail premises. All was set in large accessible riverside grounds. Would recommend.

Bathroom had large spa bath & separate shower cubicle but toilet was rather close to the door.

Location was amazing. The most beautiful gardens right on the river. Old house with lots of ambiance and history. The 'girls' were fantastic. So helpful no matter how busy they were and always with a smile. The breakfast was the old fashioned type - huge doorstopper slices of homemade bread, homemade jams, marmalades etc. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the yolks bright yellow. My room was smallish but had double door opening to the deck overlooking the garden. Room heater was helpful as was the electric blanket !

The only downside for me was I had a room that had a shared bathroom. Whilst there were few others in the shared house it was fine but as more came it became a bit of a juggling act. No biggy, just so used to ensuites! Heritage homes dont come with all the modern extras.
