Fothergills of Fremantle

The accommodation was delightful. Full of art, sculptures and artefacts. Beautifully presented and full of character! We met David, the owner, who was so friendly and hospitable! We recommend to book direct in order to include the delicious cooked breakfast! We would have no hesitation in recommending this B&B and would definitely return!

Property looked nice on arrival but not a great welcome when the lady took forever to answer the doorbell and then clearly couldn't get rid of us quick enough! Everything seemed set up for contactless entry into our room (keypad etc) so really it would be so much nicer for us (and the lady) if you simply emailed instructions with entry code, rather than needing us to ring the bell and wait around on the doorstep wondering if anyone is in! The room was absolutely lovely (English Room) and although the bathroom was down the hall, we knew that it was private and for us only. Loved all the character and knick knacks in the house. Breakfast was fine except the (different) lady did not know we had ordered cooked breakfast until we had sat there for a while and went off to find her! Also, despite me emailing in advance about dietary requirements for my wife, and it being her birthday that day, they had simply not got in the ingredients she was hoping for. But breakfast was fine in the end. So, definitely room for improvement on the staffing front, but nice property in a nice town :-)

Managers were very friendly and helpful with after hours check-in instructions and looking for a lost item after we vacated. The room (endeavour) was huge and felt private with its own outdoor seating area. Most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. The continental breakfast selection was extensive for a small bnb. Exceeded all expectations.

This room was very spacious with older wood furniture and fittings and the feel of the whole place was "quirky heritage". It was only an 8 minute walk to the centre of town, thus saving having to look for parking. We were well looked after and the breakfast was excellent - you could have fruit, cereal and/or cooked. If I ever went to Fremantle again I would choose Fothergill's.

Really quirky B&B spread over a number of 19th century buildings. We had first floor room overlooking sea with a separate bathroom. Classically decorated with style lots of good art and sculpture. Comfortable bed bathroom great breakfast served in wonderful conservatory in building next door and was superb. Number of huge plaster cows around buildings simply add to the general great ambience. Parking outside or by side of buildings with easy walking access to Fremantle. All in all for us a great choice especially if you fed up of the plastic sameness of modern hotels. Be aware no lifts (very old buildings) and steep stairs so if you have issues go for lower floor.

Really disappointed, booked a hotel and arrived at a Band B. On arrival I rang the bell (there were 2 main doors), and unsure if bell had rung, rang it again after 60 seconds. My welcome was “it’s a big house , it takes time to get to the door!” No hello welcome… I am then put in a room with shower or bath and told its a shared bathroom… After this, I try to log onto the wifi ( no code given on arrival) , the same person answers “it should be in your room!!” At this point I feel like saying, oh silly me, shall I go and look again.., or could you please enlighten me…, The “atmosphere” continues at breakfast..I paid for breakfast so decide to ask for the cooked breakfast , I’m then told “Did you book direct or through ***********? I could not really remember but advised I did pay for breakfast , to be advised sorry I’ve checked , it was *********** and we only “give cooked breakfasts” to guests who book direct. It was the most unwelcoming place I have stayed in for years.
