Reviewed May 15, 2026An absolutely beautiful and well presented house. A great breakfast was provided. It was like stepping back in time and living in a real museum. Every cupboard and draw had something to read, see and discuss. The place was very clean and every little bit extra that was needed for our journey was provided.
The only comment I would make for others is that there is no television but there is so much to see and explore that it is not really needed.

Reviewed Mar 10, 2026The house is very well-positioned in the township and it was comfortable. The owners have tried very hard to renovate and keep the house in a stately manner, with all sorts of antiques of the period on display and fascinating to look at.
It felt like we were staying in a museum and there was a sense that we might inadvertently break something.

While it was a little cool to begin with as it took a while for the heating to warm up the whole house (and it was a very cold and bleak day) we enjoyed our night and appreciated the effort that had gone into making our stay as comfortable as possible.

No fires allowed which was acceptable to me. The bathroom and water pressure excellent. Mostly I enjoyed the objets de art and sitting in the lounge with the lamp on enjoying the stained glass doors. The kitchen is modern and we had breakfast provided by the host which was a nice gesture.
