It’s a very old house so it is very creaky. It was nice and quiet otherwise. There was a mixup in rooms with not much of an apology. Once I had unpacked I was told I needed to move to another room because new staff gave me a reserved room. All in all it was a nice place but not sure I would go back. ##### Tracy Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### bart 5 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property owner is very friendly and knowledgeable.He spent a number of years abroad and the decoration in this old Victorian represents his travels.There is also a thai restaurant incorporated inside the house ##### bart Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Mary 11 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The suite we had in the carriage house was very room and comfortable.
