Wonderful Girls Getaway!

We had such a great time here – it was exactly what we were hoping for with our girls weekend. The managers were so accommodating, friendly and personable. From getting a tour around the house to the continental breakfast, I would definitely recommend this house.

Historic Home for a Family Stay

Beautiful historic home to stay in with your family. Worth noting that all bedrooms are on the second floor. Trains pass by occasionally. The innkeepers were kind and attentive to our requests. We would choose to stay here again.

What s wonderful spot for a family reunion.

12 of us came to town for a celebration of life service. We wanted to be together to reminisce, laugh and cry together. The manor was amazing. Plenty of room. Lots to explore and entertainment for the young adults. Ashleigh and Brendan were exceptional hosts tentative and kind. We loved the history lessons. Thanks for making our stay perfect.
