beautiful house in an amazing location. wonderful stuff.

We loved the historic charm of the hotel, updated with a beautiful modern interior. Our room was super spacious. We arrived close to midnight and someone was there to receive us and make sure our check in went smoothly. We enjoyed sitting next to the cozy fireplace during breakfast which was delicious. Loved the location that was close to Lion's head that we hiked the next morning. Also appreciated the complimentary port and lovely greeting card.

Exceptional and accommodating staff!!! Wonderful food! Comfortable, spacious, elegantly decorated rooms. Comfortable beds. Beautiful bathrooms. I recommend a room with a bathtub if you can get one. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. They provided best customer service I ever have experience at a hotel. It was truly an impressive experience all around.

Breakfast was awesome...lots of variety. Staff was extremely nice and pleasant.

staff were wonderful, beds were comfortable, food was excellent. great location.

Amazing and Friendly Staff. Quiet and clean and a great breakfast.

we loved this property was so easy for us to get around, the staff truly made the stay. Thank you Prince and Memory for going out of your way.

Memory was the perfect host. She made us feel like a family member and offered her support throughout our stay. We loved the beautiful common areas, the look and feel of the room, and the convenient location.

It felt like we were staying in a family member's beautiful house, but with peace and quiet! The house and room were beautifully furnished, didn't feel the pics did it justice! Great location - but Prince and his team made the stay for us. Super helpful, friendly, gave some brilliant recommendations with what to do and where to eat etc. They made our trip a brilliant holiday

Everything was perfect; we had a problem with our arrival date, and Simon was superkind and available in following us, and suggesting all the best resturants and visits around the town. We will be back !
