Ford House was built at the end of the 19th Century and is in the colonial style. Each bedoom has different facilities (see their website for details) but are all decorated & furnished in an exceptionally tasteful early 20th century style. There is a well equipped kitchen & dining room as well as a very comfortable sitting room. The house... More

We never thought any accommodation in Australia could be that bad! How bad? Think of cold showers for two seniors when the temperature is 14.6 degrees Celsius, because the staff did not switch on the water heater. The premises had no phone, no internet and after 17:30 no staff. We're left to search the exterior of the house in dim... More

My husband booked this hotel thinking it sounded very romantic and on paper it is. We were surprised to find that we had a shared bathroom (rudimentary but clean) in a small over cluttered room with a small bed, no air conditioning and an unwatchable TV. I guess he/we expected these basic comforts in 2012/13, even in a heritage house.... More

We stayed in the Rose Room in the main homestead and enjoyed the experience. The room and shared bathroom were clean and in line with what we expected. (Although the rooms did not have locks, as other reviewers have noted, this did not bother us.) Breakfast was excellent, with both continental and cooked dishes available and some nice homemade touches... More

Ford House, set amongst cottage gardens, is situated on the banks of the Blackwood River in Bridgetown. It is a very peaceful and serene setting and guarantees a good night's sleep. Having a kitchen and sitting room at our disposal also made us feel like home. I spent a pleasant few hours one afternoon sitting on the back patio overlooking... More

When we first arrived late in the evening we where not overly impressed. The doors didn't lock and we had to share a bathroom. We learned later you could get a room with your own bathroom. It was dark out so we didn't appreciate house at the time. We knew there was lots of history to it but it just... More

Really lovely place to stay. Never stayed anywhere as quite unique as Ford House. Stayed in Cooks Retreat room. Such a lovely atmosphere in the room and surrounds. Breakfast is awesome at the shared table in the barn, with geese waiting for a bite as well at the door! Definitely recommend.

I've stayed at Ford House twice -- both time in the Jarrah Room in the original Ford House homestead. The grounds are wonderful in all seasons, with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore, beautiful gardens, and riverside strolls. The accommodation is filled with curios and old-world decorations, paintings, photos and the like, that add a great deal of atmosphere... More

Ford house is amazing, I enjoyed the garden and the giftshop. The geese kept me amused too. Next time I think I'd want to stay in a room that is able to be locked. Staff assure visitors that nothing ever happens and they don't feel that it's necessary for the building to be locked but I feel that security is... More
