With attentive staff around the clock, the historic house offers secured parking and an inviting common area, perfect for mingling with fellow guests.

    There were a few tattered towels in the room which mildly marred an otherwise pleasant experience.

    We spent our Thanksgiving vacation in this cozy guesthouse and enjoyed the peaceful garden area, which felt like a mini oasis. the staff was welcoming and accommodating, helping us with our needs during the stay. the location was also convenient, with restaurants and shops just a stone’s throw away.

    The WiFi signal was weak and intermittent, causing some inconvenience with communication and navigating the area. we found it difficult to get in touch with management when needed, as there was no presence on site at times and the contact numbers were not up-to-date.
