The dining menu was amazing - degustation and beautifully presented and delicious. Only issue was the shower over the bath, not easy for older customers, and there was a lack of shower caps - the latter slightly minor !!

We loved the property so well kept and authentic. The only problem was the driveway when walking up it, as it had a few pot holes and not enough parking close to the property.

Room chairs are very uncomfortable but suited the decor of the property. Some curtains were tattered, spiderwebs in corners and around windows. The breakfast was very nice as was the service. The property is in keeping with the period but the gardens have been let go.

Beautiful Stay in Strahan

Franklin Manor was a beautiful historic house. It was a short walk into Strahan along the waterfront. Thomas, the manager and his wife were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast that was included, was beautifully presented & delicious.

A beautiful location - so quiet and peaceful yet walking distance into the Strahan village and surrounds. We enjoyed a magical walk to the very close-by Hogarth Falls - very special indeed.

A true mansion!

First impressions were Wow! The history and decor is true to the character. Staff can’t do enough for you - always happy to oblige. Breakfast was good, comfort was high. No TV wasn’t an issue with so much to do and enjoy if you desire. Easy walking access to town. Parking can be challenging during busy times.

The interior of the property suited the exterior - a period piece of excellence. Staff were great, the area quiet and peaceful - just what we wanted. A perfect location for the railway and river cruise journey's that again were both excellent (recommended).
