I was apprehensive at first, being that I had never stayed at a b&b before. However this place far exceeded my expectations. First of all, the staff and the owner were fantastic. Exremely helpful and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble for them -on easter sunday we even had some chocolate eggs in our coffee cups at breakfast which was... More

We stayed at Fothergills for 3 nights at the end of December and it was a very pleasurable experience. We were wary considering the mixed reviews but glad we decided to stay. We would definitely be back. We stayed in the Endeavour room which was excellent. It has a private outdoor patio that leads downstairs to the eating area. The... More

We asked our agent to book this hotel, as part of our 3 month trip to New Zealand and Australia, based on previous postings. Having come from the most gorgeous B&B in Yallingup, this B&B was not at all what we had been expecting. We stayed in the English Suite and the bathroom was not en suite (this is not... More

We value highly feedback but we I am disappointed by the misleading comments in this instance. We charged the guests $225 for the night inclusive of a full cooked breakfast and all taxes. I would suggest therefore that it is unreasonable to draw a comparison between us and a beautiful B&B in Yallingup which charges $440/night. The guests state "we... More

If you like the predictability of chain hotels, Fothergills is probably not your style. But if you like to be greeted by name and start the day with pleasant conversation in the breakfast room, this is the place. Borrow a book to read, enjoy the paintings and sculpture on display, listen to music on the Bose CD player in your... More

We arrived after a cruise around the "top end" of Australia for a five day stay and couldn't have been happier. The entire facility is super clean, wonderfully decorated with very tasteful and unusual art, and all around charming. The breakfast in a beautiful solarium offered a cooked breakfast in addition to the usual breads, cereals, juices, and fruits. Anything... More

We stayed two nights in the Hodldsworth Room in preparation for our cruise leaving from Perth. The room was certainly nice although the ensuite was very small, tucked into the corner of the room. The room also had a double bed, desk, chair, refrigerator and tea service. Certainly adequate for the two of us. We had been somewhat concerned about... More

Stayed 3 nights at Fothergills of Fremantle at the end of our 3 week tour of WA. Booked the O'Connor Room which was spacious and nicely furnished, although the ensuite was tiny but functional. Kettle with tea and coffee etc and fridge, although not sure how long the jug of milk had been in the fridge as by our second... More

Thank you for writing. I am disappointed about your curdled milk and perplexed as fresh milk is put in each room every day! Nevertheless I hope you were able to enjoy the complimentary soft drinks and snacks that were provided in your room. I am sorry you feel the room was not good value: our prices are much the same...

The other reviews say it all. Lovely place just a short walk from the free CAT bus into town. Brilliant cooked breakfasts. David and kwi were great hosts, though there was another lady who was quite unwelcoming. Some issues - Water pressure wasn't too good. Not exactly cheap given the high aussie dollar. More

Hi! Thank you for your kind remarks and your appreciation of our cooked breakfasts... I share your concern about the prices which for years have been exceptional value for overseas visitors. However the strengthening of the Aussi dollar has, as you say, made us a little more costly for overseas guests - especially those from UK and USA. Maybe by... More

Our children paid for us to stay in the English suite at Fothergills of Freemantle as a ruby wedding anniversary present. It could not have been a better choice. Having just received our citizenship in Australia it was great to stay in this particular room! The room was so 'English'. Miles away from modern bland hotel rooms but very comfortable,... More
