December January Julie, Alex, lyn and Greg stayed at Freeman on Ford in Beechworth. WOW. Jim and Heidi greeted us on arrival and settled us in. The old bank building goes back to the 1980s, has been extended twice and is amazing.There are large lounges in the extension areas with the most ornate fittings, candelabra, beautiful china cabinets with amazing settings, drapes and curtains, all arranged by Heidi. The extensions lead to the large back yard and the heated lap pool and spa go almost the full length. On the porch to the yard there are lovely lounge areas relax and enjoy. This area leads to the under cover car park. The gardens are amazing, all designed by Heidi. Breakfast is like the main meal of the day, beautifully prepared and served by Jim and Heidi who introduce all guests to each other. Like a big family atmosphere. In the afternoon high tea is served and at night there is port and chocolate. The rooms are ornate and the bed is magic. We cannot recommend Freeman highly enough with Jim and Heidi making the atmosphere and ambience so hospitable. In beechworth I heard that 7 bed and breakfasts have recently closed, thankfully Freeman still goes strong. With many thanks to Jim and Heidi from Julie, Alec, Lyn and Greg. …

We got a last minute booking here for two nights thanks to someone else's cancellation. Everything about Freeman on Ford was excellent. The location on the main street is in a beautiful building, we had a luxurious period-style room, the pool is spectacular, terrace and lounge areas etc are all excellent as well as the service and attention to detail throughout. Hosts Heidi and Jim really do provide an exceptionally welcoming and relaxing hotel from which to explore Beechworth. Staying here made us feel like we'd had a proper holiday! Can't rate it highly enough.

Short version: this place is extraordinary ! Long version: We stayed 5 days at Freeman on Ford and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Firstly the building and place is absolutely beautiful, Victorian style room in perfect condition. There is a relaxing outdoor pool area and several indoor lounge room to enjoy. Heidi and Jim are going the extra mile to provide an outstanding service and experience. From delicious breakfast to details like preparing the room for the night while we were out for dinner. In all honestly, we enjoyed better service in the Freeman on Ford than many of luxury 5 stars hotel we have been to ! This place is a gem and we will be back, thank you Heidi and Jim for making our stay an unforgettable experience.

My wife and I stayed four nights in December 2020.. Heidi & Jim are the most amazing hosts, they cannot do enough to make your stay relaxing. From recommendation on wines to the best way to the rock pools they are a wealth of information. Throw in a big beautiful room overlooking the sparkling pool with afternoon tea on the balcony it is a great way to relax Wake up to a very delicious home cooked breakfast every morning it is easy to see why Heidi and Jim’s B&B is so popular, it truly is Beechworth Gold. Can’t wait to return. Only negative comment is that we had to leave. Thanks Heidi & Jim you guys are incredible hosts.

Simply Outstanding – Pure 5 stars. The Freeman on Ford B&B run by hosts Heidi & Jim cannot be faulted for their attention to detail and service to every guest. With both of them to help with any guest enquiry and local recommendations, you felt well informed without being over sold. We have stayed at a number of B&B over the years within Beechworth and this was our second stay at Freeman on Ford B&B. The choice for breakfast was excellent and the afternoon tea of homemade cakes and a fresh pot of tea that is included in the price was magnificent. We have just come off our 3rd three (3) night stay at Freeman on Ford B&B in the Deluxe Crystal Suite in three (3) years. This suite with its king size bed, full marble en-suite with extra-large double-spa, double rain showers and double basin, cannot be beaten - this room would easily rival a number of 5 star hotels suites in the Melbourne CDB. All I can really say is thank you to Heidi & Jim and we will be back again!…
