We stayed at French Bay House for a weekend getaway and had a fantastic experience. The house itself was beautiful and located perfectly in a quiet central area. The owners were incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was deliciously presented and we enjoyed chatting with the other guests. The hosts went above and beyond, providing us with tea and cookies upon arrival and offering their excellent knowledge of the area. The rooms were spacious and bright, and we loved the tastefully decorated lounge and dining areas. We can't wait to visit again!

We highly recommend this hotel.

The bed was extremely comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. The owners were very friendly and helpful, providing great recommendations for nearby restaurants and activities. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the main street and with beautiful views of the garden.

The room was a bit small and we found it difficult to store all of our belongings. the house was a bit noisy at times, with creaky floors and doors.

We had a wonderful weekend stay at French Bay House. Jacquie and Tim were exceptional hosts, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The bedroom was cozy and warm, and the bed was super comfy. Their fairy tale house is full of character and situated in a perfect location on a quiet road. They provided great advice on what to do and where to go. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, made with local produce. We highly recommend it to others. Thank you, Jacquie and Tim, for making our stay so special!

Totally recommend this hotel.
