Fabulous stay in a charming old Victorian house with lovely attentive staff.
Pros:

Great staff - we were very well-looked after and nothing appeared to be too much trouble
Fabulous food and wine
Great ambience in the hotel

Cons:

The water in the bathroom was warm, but not hot, which made it difficult to have a hot bath after a day out exploring the area.

Franklin manor disappointed
Pros:

The lounge areas were lovely and open fireplace

Cons:

Very expensive for such a small room. It seems that if you book on their website you get breakfast included however if you book on another platform at the same value you do not get breakfast included. Very disappointing

Super friendly staff and lovely room and decor, book now!
Pros:

The young French lady at the front desk couldn’t be more helpful, the room was very cute and clean, and the Manor itself was very well kept. The longue rooms with the fire going was a plus! We got ourselves a wine and read a book for a while.

Strahan is such a beautify town - the boat tour and train ride are a must do.
Pros:

The location was excellent, walking distance to shops and main centre. The food and service at the restaurant was excellent, all fresh and local produced, but quite costly. We had breakfast there but found meals were way out of our reach. Matthew and Emma were such beautiful people and took extra care of us during our stay.

Cons:

You had to be very mindful to keep the volume done because rooms were not sound proof and the lay out of the room wasn't the best, to watch tv from the bed, was uncomfortable because the bed was on the side.

Very disappointing, both restaurant and bed.
Pros:

The house was fine, a bit pokey but the rooms were good. The dinner at Charlotte's was a five course fixed price dinner. The table service was fine as was the discussion with our waiter. However, only 4 courses were served leaving us with the feeling of missing out on something. Breakfast was very basic although nicely presented. The croissant was burnt. We wern't able to check in until 2pm which was the advertised time but they were very adamant that it had to be 2pm. Very French. The bed was not comfortable, it was so soft that I had a aching back the next morning.

Cons:

Staff were pleasant. Room was generally okay.

A bit disappointing
Pros:

The building is beautiful and the lounge areas are very comfortable.

Cons:

The only dining option at Franklin Manor was a set five course menu. There wasn't much on the menu that was of interest to us. The last time we stayed here the menu was 'a la carte' and we really enjoyed it. We were looking forward to dining there but unfortunately it wasn't to be. The rooms are quite small.

Handy two night stay
Pros:

A beautiful Victorian home, based in a wonderful setting. Accommodation situated handy to Strahan with a handy 10 minute water front walk to the town. Lovely Victorian style room with a lovely comfortable king bed. Lovely Tasmania breakfast with great personal service. Great friendly staff. We had a two night stay to work in with the day cruise & train trip, which was handy to both. Recommend a stay here.

A nice historic building which is very comfortable.
Pros:

Very helpful staff (Emma).
Good clean historic accomodation with a restaurant included for fine French dining. Not far from the main strip in Strahan. Offstreet parking close to entry.

Cons:

A little noise from adjacent rooms- thin walls but still bearable.
