Beautifully decorated with all the facilities expected. Noisey road at the front of the house due to it being a cut through. The house bedrooms have been divided up into seperate appartments and so some swithches needed are not in your appartment. A concern about security, front door and room door locks great but the period patio doors inside the rooms were poorly secured with flimsy locks. ##### David Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [O by Tamara, Trivandrum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thiruvananthapuram-Hotels-O-By-Tamara.h44568885.Hotel-Information) > > [VilaGaleHotels Hotels in Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Algarve-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Hotels.0-0-d182215--bVilaGaleHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Palia Puerto del Sol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santanyi-Hotels-Hotel-Palia-Puerto-Del-Sol.h10043268.Hotel-Information) > > [Numa Hamburg Fore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamburg-Hotels-My4walls-Serviced-Apartments-Hamburg.h21481445.Hotel-Information) > > [Morangie Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tain-Hotels-Morangie-Hotel.h20633326.Hotel-Information) > > [Oaklands Hotel By Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-OAKLANDS-HOTEL.h44816625.Hotel-Information) > > [Vienna House by Wyndham Andel's Cracow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Krakow-Hotels-Vienna-House-Andels-Cracow.h1532606.Hotel-Information) > > [Boutique Hotels in Malaga Historic Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malaga-Historic-Centre-Hotels-Boutique-Hotel.0-0-d6330549-tBoutiqueHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Peat Spade Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockbridge-Hotels-The-Peat-Spade-Inn.h14826210.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Southend-on-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d179500-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Grand Hotel Riva](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Riva-Del-Garda-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Riva.h917764.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Maidenhead](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidenhead-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d5633-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Germany](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Germany-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d64-tBudgetHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels with Parking in York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hotel-With-Free-Parking.0-0-d5489-thotelwithfreeparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Best Western Lakmi Nice](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Best-Western-Lakmi-Nice.h790448.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Dubai (DXB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/dxb/manchester-to-dubai) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Johannesburg (JNB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/jnb/london-to-johannesburg) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to San Bartolome (ACE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/ace/birmingham-to-arrecife) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [The Woodland Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/The-Woodland-Spa-Burnley.d553248621532493957.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals ### General ---
