    We went for a girls' weekend and really enjoyed the house and all it offered. Even though the weather was terrible, the walk to restaurants was no problem.

    The cottage was beautifully presented, very clean and comfortable. Ideal for that special occasion or getaway. We will hopefully stay again one day.

    I'm a bit of a cottage addict. What I loved most about this one was the enfolding greenery and the wisteria vine that wrapped around the verandah. The internet was poor when we stayed but I believe there had been a storm recently which affected coverage in the area.

    Very easy process, simple. I made some changes to my original booking and there were no problems. All was changed quickly. Joanne was very obliging and made the whole experience a pleasure. Thanks for a lovely stay.

    We hadn't been to Beechworth before so spent a lot of time trying finding the right accommodation and location for our family .The French Cottage was absolutely amazing and lived up to our expectations . We really loved the beautiful spaces at the French cottage. Gorgeous rooms , lovely garden, spacious open kitchen and dining area and a cosy lounge . The cottage is also very clean and in a great location near the lake and a easy 5 minute walk to town . We highly recommend The French Cottage for a romantic or family getaway. Well done French Cottage

    The house was clean and neat. The house is not set up to lounge in or spend time in but more a come and go to sleep. This was okay for us as we were out and about all weekend. We travelled as 4 adults - the 2 males loved the rock hard beds and pillows but the 2 women struggled with them. Maybe bring your own soft pillow if you don't like a really hard one!
