We went Sunday and were the only visitors for a while In that time the two lady volunteers could not have shown any more enthusiasm ,hospitality and knowledge of the building and gardens . A wonderful visit and superb tea and shortbread !!!

This is a National Trust property which is well presented and which indicates the opportunity for prosperity for an enterprising ex-convict in the nineteenth century. The stewards in duty gave very helpful insight into the property. The garden was pleasant to stroll around.

Franklin House was a former school and the guides give you a basic rundown of what it had been like and the schoolroom has been restored. The National Trust volunteers are wonderful and happily chat away to you, there's a Tearoom with the traditional tea...More

Fantastic historic building kept in great condition with plenty of era related items. Short drive from Launceston well worth it

This is a charming house with so much history. You are greeted by one of the volunteers which gave us the history of the place. The place was filled with beautifully restored furniture. Also the gardens are lovely to stroll through

Cost $10 each. We were welcomed by Julie at the front door. She explained the history behind Franklin House in about 10 minutes and then we were free to roam the two story house. Not only is the house worth seeing, the gardens are beautiful....More

Franklin House was a good way to spend the afternoon. Admission was reasonable and the preservation of the house was spectacular. The gardens were kept to look English and the afternoon tea fits in with the rest of the atmosphere.
