"My husband and I stayed just one night. The property obviously has so much history and character. The grounds are so beautiful. I can see it being an incredible place for weddings. The property is very clean and we had everything we needed. We slept very well. Unfortunately we couldn’t use the pool and tennis court like we wanted. September weather can be tricky for the pool with the leaves falling all the time. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Thank you very much. "

"The room was nice but a bit noisy. Well located for everything in town or for walking to the lake. Nice options for restaurants and everyone is friendly. My only issue was when we indicated not changing the bed linens and towels that meant our bed was not made and our dirty coffee cups and wine glasses were not replaced with clean ones. "

What is a historic hotel like in Nelson?

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. The term “historic hotel” is more common in the U.S., whereas “heritage hotel” is common in Asia and Europe.

In Nelson, booking a historic hotel doesn’t mean you will stay in a place that’s uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
