    Beautiful historic house. Glen went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and gave us plenty of helpful recommendations for the area. We also got a free upgrade and enjoyed a lovely private balcony and en-suite bathroom. About half an hour...

    Very traditional & a different experience. The host was incredibly attentive & there was lots of amenities. The pool is a big plus in the hot weather. The rooms were also clean & the bed was comfortable.
