From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. Room had everything we needed. Great spaces to unwind in the evening around the fire. We thought it would be a perfect place for weddings or host a murders. The electricity went off a one point, but the person on reception kept calm and informed us that the whole town was... More

Continental breakfast was OK, there was also an honesty bar if you wanted a drink you help yourself to it... More

Franklin Manor is set on the shores of Macquarie Harbour with excellent views from most rooms and an elegant old garden. it is not modern, but it has an aura and a feeling of a touch of old fashioned class, unlike the sterility of some other places. We stayed with a group of 11 friends and found the management extremely... More

Beautiful old home in lovely grounds. The couple managing the hotel were friendly but seemed a little harassed. The location of the hotel is one of the best in Strahan and within walking distance of all the attractions, cafes and restaurants. The bar is run on an honour system which I rather think was more to save having anyone on... More

The positives are; friendly staff, good common rooms with log fires, off street parking, pretty gardens and good continental breakfasts included in the price. The negatives: Very dated bedrooms (ours is quite dark and musty smelling) and bathrooms (shower in a bath with an old shower curtain), a radiator for room heating and a small TV with reception that was...

Franklin Manor Franklin Manor is advertising, charging and conning customers on past glory. The hotel is a fine historic building with dreadful service and little management. It appeared there was only one member of staff running the whole place. Not surprisingly, he was not coping. One day it could, with plenty of money & time, return to providing an enjoyable... More

Franklin Manor is a fine house set in very nice gardens. Beds comfortable and free internet connection was appreciated apart from which there is little to commend Franklin Manor. Clearly once a thriving business now sadly in decline with staff who need lessons in the art of customer service. When the receptionist who seems to do everything was not on... More

This beautiful building set in potentially attractive grounds has clearly seen better days and is in desperate need of some tender loving care. The potential is plain to see but needs a motivated owner/manager to fulfil it rather than a resident manager. At the time of our stay the manager had been here less than a week. The new website...
