Winner of the Merit Award for the 'Best' Bed and Breakfast in Western Australia in 2004, Ford House is set in exquisite gardens in Bridgetown. Less than three hours from Perth, yet in the centre of the Southwest, close to Margaret River, Augusta, Pemberton and Walpole. Rolling hills cloaked in forest, wineries, vineyards, orchard and paddocks make a perfect backdrop for historic Ford House, built in 1896.
Ford House was also “Winner of the Best Bed and Breakfast” in Western Australia in 2001, and Finalist in 2002. Ford House offers guests luxurious accommodation and many facilities; the five acre property with its 600 metre Blackwood River frontage is on the edge of town yet surrounded by dense forest. Guests at Ford House enjoy large rooms, French doors and high ceilings at an affordable price. There are single, twin and queen size rooms. Four rooms have spas.
At Aislinn, also on the property, sheoak floors, Amish quilts and en-suites grace both double rooms. One has a spa overlooking the river. From the sitting room, guests can open tri-fold doors to watch the river pass them by. Warm fires, fresh flowers, books and original artworks enhance all rooms, as do television sets.
Our intimate Cooks Retreat has every conceivable luxury from air-conditioning, spa and Foxtel to chandeliers. Of course it too has a private terrace overlooking the river. Our newest rooms boast all the facilities of the Cooks Retreat, but has a 5m high vaulted ceiling as well.
Children over 12 are accepted.
Amidst an eight metre wall of preserved fruit, grand feasts are often held in the Barn. Its century old, hand adzed walls play host to unique banquets, accompanied by home made bread, sauces and desserts. All food provided in the Barn and cafe is made at Ford House. Lunch and picnics are also available.
To finish the stay, home baked bread, preserves, jams, roasted almonds, honey cured bacon and eggs all add to the morning delights of breakfast at Ford House.
