Excellent! As beautiful as advertised and our hosts were wonderful, accommodating & accessable!

We enjoyed our brief stay immensely. The manor house was beautiful and is situated in a lovely setting. We were a group of 7 and used 5 of the rooms. Everyone enjoyed their rooms and had a great nights rest. Our hosts were very responsive, both before & after our arrival. Would definitely stay here again!

Charm and Comfort

Julie and Gary were wonderful hosts and made sure our family was comfortable and had everything we needed. The home is decorated beautifully and has much character and charm but still feels comfortable like home. The backyard tops it all off on a nice sunny day!

Host profile image
In 2011 we sold everything we owned & purchased the manor. After 5 years of renovating, we welcomed our first guests. Prior to running the manor, Gary was the GM at the Keg & I was a full time realtor. Gary is now the cook & gardener & I help guests create a great vacation experience. We have 2 cats & live onsite in the nanny suite. In the winter, we travel south & stay in historic homes & hotels where we find design inspiration for the manor.
