Freeman onFord

On Ford Street in the heart of historic Beechworth, a 150-year-old former Oriental Bank building holds an adults-only bed and breakfast of seven rooms. Four Victorian rooms upstairs keep original stained glass and king beds; deluxe suites add floor-to-ceiling marble and double spas. A full hot breakfast draws on local farm-gate produce, and there are landscaped gardens with an outdoor pool. Owner-run since 2002, it sits within walking distance of the town's dining and heritage precinct.
