Guest Reviews

• Erin (10/5): Would definitely recommend - The hosts were incredibly friendly and caring, with great communication. We had to change our travel plans mid trip and they made sure the changes to our vacation was effortless and genuinely enjoyable. We would definitely recommend!
• Claudiu (9/5): -
• Ben (10/5): Definitely stay here it was great - The hotel is in a gorgeous house at the top of the hill with views all around. The room was very clean, warm and cozy. The bathroom was large and the bed comfy! I loved the common areas, there is about 4 different places to sit with chairs, sofas and tables with a view. You can also use the kitchen and Madu did some light washing for us. He was an amazing host, had some great chats, helped us with advice on what to do in Nuwara Eliya and made sure we had a heater etc in the room. He stays in the hotel full time to help out whenever you need and on WhatsApp but you definitely have your own space. It is only 5 minutes to town and Pickme works great otherwise. Lots of stuff to do in N.E and the weather is nice and cool. The hill up to the hostel is steep to walk up, but only 5 minutes. We were fine walking up and down but if not tuk tuk is readily available.
• R (10/5): -
• Iuliia (10/5): - Комната и дом очень понравились. Останавливались на неделю с ребёнком, было достаточно удобно. Можно было найти вариант более приватный, отдельную квартиру, но хотелось красивый интересный реальный дом с видом, а не просто апартаменты. Большой плюс жилья- есть обогреватель, фен, горячая вода) Можно пользоваться кухней, все оборудование есть, чего не хватало было несложно исправить. Не работал холодильник.. но и без него продукты не портились, температура в кухне и холлах позволяла оставлять их на столе) Стиральная машинка это отдельный раритетный "аттракцион")), нужно отдельно стирать, сливать воду и отжимать, в общем если очень нужно можно постирать. Температура в доме, по ощущением, где-то +16 С° утром и вечером, одежда теплая для дома точно нужна, это везде так. Очень милый и шустрый менеджер, спасибо ему за участие))
• Agnes (10/5): L'accueil et la gentillesse de Madu a vraiment fait notre bonheur. - La gentillesse de Madu. L'accueil a été très appréciable. Le lieu très typique. C'était parfait !
• Alexander (9/5): -
• Manuel (10/5): Beautiful place close to the city center - Most beautiful house I stayed in all over Sri Lanka. Its very clean, smells good and has everything you need and beyond. Madusanka, is a friendly host, who helped us with everything. 10/10 would recommend this. -
• Joost (9/5): Sfeervolle plek - Jetskey is echt fantastisch, stuurde ons zelfs nog een appje na uitcheck om te vragen of we veilig waren aangekomen. Sfeervolle accommodatie en gewoon netjes. Water in de douche liep eigenlijk niet weg, binnen paar minuten stond hele badkamervloer blank. En er wordt geen ontbijt aangeboden, voor ons geen probleem maar wel iets om rekening mee te houden.
• Ellie (10/5): -
• Paola (10/5): Thank you very much Madu! - It is located outside the confusion (very quiet) of the centre but still near 5 min by tuk tuk or 15 walking. Although to be honest I did only twice because it is uphill.. It is a british style house covered with wood everywhere which makes it warm and welcoming. Then there is Madu who is taking care of everything and of you. He is always available to give advices about excursions, transfers, exchange, restaurants.. I followed what he suggested to me and it was perfect! He even made my laundry for free. And because the only problem is that there is no breakfast he arranged me every morning a cup of coffee and he was waking up to prepare it for me. Then last but not least the toilettes are completely new, so this is the first place where the shower was really hot and wigh a strong pressure. Nothing
• ZHANG (9/5): - 整个房子设计得很温馨，设施也很齐全。厨房非常大，很适合自己做饭。淋浴的水很大，而且很热。有真正的被子，晚上也能住得很舒服。虽然离镇中心有些距离，但步行10分钟左右就有一家超市，也很方便。
• Aglaé (9/5): - Très charmante maison typique Personnel adorable Très confort
• Lisa (9/5): -
• Nienke (10/5): Wonderful stay - We stayed here for two nights. The room, beds, and shower were very comfortable. Our host Madusanka was very friendly and they helped us with our laundry. There are several nice restaurants nearby. Highly recommend.
• Selçuk (10/5): Enjoy your view! - the location has a great layout with wooden ground and great view outside. It is really suspicious place. I wish they would provide breakfast as well. For short term stay, it is ideal.
• Michelle (10/5): Haben es geliebt - Einfach nur top! Die Unterkunft hat charm, liegt super zentral finde ich, war sauber und sehr das Personal war total zuvorkommend. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und waren traurig, als wir wieder gehen mussten (wir waren fast 1 Wochen dort!) Wir würden es jederzeit wieder buchen (: Nichts (;
• moshe (10/5): - The hotel is tastefully decorated and the staff members are very kind and helpful
• Tobias (9/5): Sehr gut! - Super freundlicher Host & staff. Zimmer war sehr gut - hat alles was man braucht. -
• Stanley (10/5): - What a fantastic stay. It's such a peaceful, beautiful house close enough to town but also feels like a quiet mountain retreat. The best thing for us was the staff. Specifically Charlie he was so kind and helpful!
• Ronja (10/5): -
• Ronja Alexandra (10/5): - Alles! Die Villa ist wirklich unfassbar groß und sehr ansprechend eingerichtet. Die Zimmer haben ebenfalls alles was man braucht und der housekeeper war sehr nett und hat sich um alles (Transport, Wäsche etc.) gekümmert. Nach Nuwara Eliya sind wir relativ einfach per Tuktuk gekommen und die ruhige Lage auf den Berg hat uns sehr gut gefallen. 100% Empfehlung. Nichts
• Valeriia (10/5): - Отличный напор горячей воды в душе Обогреватель, который согрел и высушил вещи после дождя Приятный молодой человек, с которым вы коммуницируете Красивый дом Кухня, которой вы можете пользоваться Хорошие общественные зоны Слив в ванной работал не слишком хорошо Сантехнику кажется тоже пора поменять, душевая лейка льет во все стороны Не хватает крючков для одежды или может рейки в шкафу и вешалок Но это были мелочи, так как мы остановились на одну ночь
• Hyekeong (10/5): コスパが高すぎ - 掲載写真より実際の方が数段素敵でした。1泊しかしなかったのですが、もう少し長く滞在すれば良かったと思うほど、素敵な宿でした。到着直前に怪我をし、その状態でチェックインしたので、ホストがチェックアウト後もずっと気にかけてくれ、とてもありがたかったです。ひとりで使うには広すぎるくらいの部屋で、館内のインテリアもとても素敵でした。 カードが使えたら言うことなかったです。
• Camille (9/5): Agréable séjour - L’hôtel est magnifique, on a l’impression d’être un peu en Angleterre avec l’esprit coloniale. Le propriétaire est très gentil et de bon conseil. Il nous a offert le thé à notre arrivé. Il est dans les collines et éloigner du centre ce qui est agréable pour le bruit
• Tugba (10/5): - Even though we didn’t spend much time in Nuwara Eliya, we really enjoyed our stay at Madusanka’s homestay. The place was very clean and comfortable, and we felt at home. Madusanka was very kind and helpful, always polite and friendly, and he made sure everything we needed was taken care of. He even arranged a car for our journey the next day, which helped us a lot. We wish we could have stayed longer. If we come back again, we will definitely book this place without thinking twice✨
• MD KHADEMUL (10/5): - Everything was so clean, The staff Madusanka is very polite and helpfull person.
• Neha (9/5): - Very clean & pretty rooms. Nice view. Fully equipped kitchen with drinking water facility! We could also use the washing machine free of cost to wash our clothes. Super helpful staff!
• Andreas (10/5): -
• Guyenne Gerarda (10/5): Amazing - Very friendly and open host, nice interior and good tv with Netflix!
• Guest (9/5): -
• Ameliia (10/5): - Staying here felt like visiting a close friend rather than just booking accommodation. Madu’s warmth and kindness made our trip unforgettable. The villa was beautifully maintained, and when the evenings got cold, he immediately brought us a heater to keep us comfortable. He was always there to answer any questions and went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. His recommendations for places to visit were spot on – each one turned out to be 10/10. It’s rare to meet a host who puts so much heart into everything, and we’re so grateful for the experience. N/a
• Marco (10/5): Madu persona preziosa e struttura bellissima. - Struttura pulita, bella, calda, Madu davvero gentile e sempre pronto ad aiutare. Bellissima persona. Ci sono tutti i servizi. Lavanderia, phon, stufa, cucina. Tutto! Sarei voluto rimanere di piu:)
• GUILLOU (10/5): Un petit coin de paradis - Le lieu, le calme, le confort, la douche chaude, la cuisine avec un réfrigérateur et l'accueil Rien
• Babette (10/5): - Everything was perfect! Can only recommend. We had a lovely stay. (And if you're afraid that it will be too cold, there were heaters available. We didn't need it tho.)
• Suganya (10/5): Feeling relaxed because of the clean atmosphere and very clean bathroom and toilet - We had a wonderful stay at Magnolia Hideout. The villa is super beautiful, surrounded by nature with a refreshing cold climate that made the atmosphere so peaceful and relaxing. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. Special thanks to Madusanka, who was extremely helpful and ensured all our needs were fulfilled. A perfect getaway spot! 🌿✨
• Michael (9/5): Good place to stay and lots to see in Eliza - Clean and it had a tv the first so far so I could watch Netflix There was great service No food options No milk for a cuppa
• Σπύρος (9/5): -
• Dica (10/5): -
• Timo (9/5): - Etwas außerhalb direkt am Wald gelegen. Man kann aber in die Stadt laufen. Housekeeper Madu sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Keine Möglichkeit ein Frühstück zu bekommen. Man kann aber die komplett ausgestattete Küche mitbenutzen.
• Juliette (9/5): Superbe maison coloniale où l’on se sent à la maison - L’hôte est extrêmement serviable et accueillant, mille merci à lui !! On se sent tout de suite comme à la maison dans cette superbe maison coloniale. Nous pouvons utiliser la cuisine pour préparer nos repas ce qui est un gros plus ! Nous n’avons pas eu d’eau chaude le deuxième soir alors qu’il faisait 14ºC dehors, probablement que le ballon d’eau chaude était vide, n’étant pas assez conséquent pour tous les clients de l’hôtel. L’eau chaude est revenue au matin !
• Hannah (10/5): Beautiful quiet hideout with helpful staff - Stunning property, clean and comfortable room. Very proactive staff who were always willing to help with restaurant suggestions, laundry and tuk tuks all organised with fuss. Replied quickly on WhatsApp. Very quiet location Short walk from town but up a steady hill that some may find challenging. Also a shame they don't offer breakfast
• Jahn (10/5): - MaDu was an amazingly helpful host!
• sabine (9/5): - Supernetter Host, sehr unterstützend Bad - sehr nass
• Giacomo (10/5): - Casa stupenda stanze meravigliose per il prezzo che abbiamo pagato - staff super disponibile ed accogliente Niente
• Sanja (10/5): - Ein sehr gemütliches Haus, in dem man sich sofort wohlfühlt – auch wenn es etwas kühl war. Das Personal ist sehr bemüht, stets freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ich würde die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.
• Berber (9/5): Madusanka is een fijne host en het huis bied een heerlijke warme douche, fijn bed en lekker dekbed! Precies wat je nodig - Deze locatie is uitermate geschikt voor een tussenstop in het koudere Nuwara Elija. Lekker dekbedje, prima bed, ruime kamer, warme douche en heel behulpzame gastheer Madusanka. Onze driver vond het laatste stukje oprit wat bumpy en onze gastheer kwam aanrennen voor de tassen. En het huis is echt prachtig! Alles prima!
• Edgar (10/5): Beautiful design - Nadu is very welcoming.
• Tanita (9/5): Worth the visit! - Its building and decor is so lovely! Charlie is amazing and very attentive. A short 10-15 min walk into town. It gets a bit cold at night, however we’d read this in the reviews prior so asked for a heater for the one night we stayed. The only downside of the room we stayed in was the bathroom flooded post shower. I’m sure that is very fixable.
• Kevin (8/5): Mooi groot huis op wandelafstand van centrum - Groot mooi huis met enkele slaapkamers en ruimtes waar je wat kan lezen en keuken waar je iets kan zelf koken. Zelf hebben we niet terplekke gekookt, maar je kan op 15m wandelen superlekker gaan ontbijten bij Café Noshers. Ook restaurant Themperadu voor lunch of diner viel juist voorbij centrum bij ons gezin in de smaak. Centrum is vlot te voet bereikbaar, naar beneden gaat het vlot, op de terugweg is het kort klimmen. Hou er rekening mee dat het in Nuwara Eliya regenachtig en koud kan zijn. Net zoals vele andere homestays is er geen verwarming, maar wij hadden een lekker warm donsdeken.
• Catherine (8/5): Lovely rooms in a comfortable, homely villa surrounded by lush greenery - The rooms were light and spacious and the host was friendly and helpful. It's a little far to walk into the centre from here, especially at night, and there were a couple of small maintenance issues in the room I highlighted to the host, but I have no doubt they will be swiftly resolved.
• Carlos (5/5): Una decepción - La casa esta chula, muy limpia, tal como aparece en las fotos. El colchón es cómodo y la habitación amplia. Puedes dejar tu tuktuk justo a la entrada, en una rampa. Cuenta con un par o tres de salas con buenas vistas. Lavabo limpio, amplisimo. Hemos estado en un dia lluvioso, 15 grados.. en la habitación hacia un frio de narices, lo que resulta muy incomodo … nada de ropa de abrigo para la cama. El lavabo muy amplio pero a falta de calor esta el suelo mojado toda la noche (la ducha suele no tener plato en estos sitios) con lo que tenias que entrar con xanclas, unicamente esta equipado por una pastilla de jabon.Al personal apenas lo vimos, casi que tuvimos que hacer ruido a las 07:15 para que apareciera y poder pagarle. nada para desayunar, no recuerdo si lo tenia incluido… pero da igual, cuenta con una cocina pero nadie nos explico si podiamos hacer uso. Tampoco esperes un aparato de aire acondicionado….
• Mohamed Arshik (9/5): Overall, a wonderful stay! - Great Stay with Excellent Service! Magnolia Hideout Villa is a clean, hygienic, and beautifully located place in Nuwara Eliya. The surroundings are peaceful, and the service was outstanding—especially Mr. Jetskey, who was very kind and helpful. Only downside is the parking setup: if your car is parked in front, you may need to wake up other guests if they’ve parked behind you.
• Corinna (9/5): Nice accommodation - Very beautiful house and room. There are couches you can read a book on on a rainy day. Was very clean and Bothroom was nice and modern. Very nice hot shower. Host even offered to clean our dishes for us and offered an umbrella. There is a communal kitchen you can use, microwave but no stove. Good to store things in the fridge and have breakfast. Very quiet at night. It was very cold in the room, which also means there is problems with humidity. We got an extra blanket when we asked but i think there should be heaters in the rooms. Blankets smelled very strongly like sweat. Have to keep in mind that this accomodation is on a very steep hill
• Alberto Pardos (10/5): -
• Martin (9/5): Review after staying for 5 nights in July 2025 - It’s a beautiful property split across 3 levels into the hillside. You enter into a living area with a raised platform up to the dining area and kitchen. The kitchen is very well equipped compared to most kitchens in Sri Lanka that we have experienced. On the next level you have another living area and on the top level you have the bedrooms for the guests. Madu who oversees the property is attentive and responsive to client’s needs. Madu organised a great day trip to Bluefield tea factory and nearby waterfalls, highly recommended. The beds are comfortable, the place is very quiet and as per other reviews, the shower is great and never did it run low on hot water! Nuwara Eliya can be cold particularly at nighttime. The owner should simply supply heaters for everybody rather than for clients to have a cold night before asking if a heater can be supplied (see photo of heater every room should have). Lesson learned if there isn’t a heater in your room ask for one. Madu will happily supply one. The property belonged to an engineer now passed away and managed by the family as a guest house. You get the feeling the property was left pretty much as he left it., sadly a little bit more maintenance would bring the property to life a bit more, examples being broken furniture, see photo. Not sure of the appropriateness of a replica AK47 on display,…see photo.
• Katharina (10/5): Cozy - Super sweet acommodation. Perfectely equipped kitchen. Big bathroom. It was a bit cold and humid.
• Ayaka (10/5): - The house was very cozy. We could eat take away food in the living area. The staff were very friendly. As the weather was quite chilly compared to the other area, we got an electric heater. Despite of no breakfast, we got food in a supermarket, so absolutely no problem. Shower was quite warm, too. The price was quite economical. I felt like staying in the UK.
• Alex (8/5): Un hotel-mansión espectacular - Una mansión - Hotel espectacular, arriba de todo de Nuwara pero a 5 minutos del centro en tuk tuk. La habitación muy amplia y limpia y un baño con una ducha espectacular, el servicio muy bueno y atento en todo momento.
• Charlotte (10/5): Beautiful home - Beautiful house, nice price, lovely hoast Madusanka. Wish we could stay longer.
• JOHN (10/5): A perfect hideout! - The charming home is a true sanctuary, situated in a green hillside yet just an 8-10 minute walk to the little town center & supermarket. The wooden interior of the room is very inviting, and the bathroom is modern and very spacious. Though nights were slightly chilly (a provided heater kept us cozy). The neat and well-organised kitchen, bright living room, and tranquil reading room were incredibly convenient. Magnolia Hideout truly became our peaceful retreat after two weeks of hectic travelling in Sri Lanka. Thank you Madu for keeping the place so wonderfully heartwarming!
• Roger (10/5): - Very clean, professional, and they also cleaned our clothes
• Mae (8/5): Home away from home. - Felt like we were visiting a friend’s home. Great kitchen which we were allowed to use. Room was larger than most & the bathroom was splendid. Best hot shower we had during our Sri Lanka stay. Excellent wifi. Nothing.
• Dorratrip (10/5): -
• Sandra (10/5): - Maison très propre et pleine de charme Chambre hyper confortable, literie au top, salle de bain propre et eau bien chaude Proche du centre (15 min a pied) et au calme (aucun bruit de traffic ni d’animaux) Ce serait top de proposer un petit déjeuner inclus dans le prix. On peut cependant utiliser la cuisine Dans la chambre : un sèche cheveux serait le bienvenu
• Evy (10/5): - Kwartiertje lopen naar het centrum en een vriendelijke eigenaar die je helpt met transfer services
• Keira (10/5): - The House was beautiful and the room was cozy and welcoming. Madu was so friendly and helped organise a wonderful tour for us. The weather was not the best but we had a lovely stay despite this. The shower was incredible! The only thing I’d recommend is something to dry the bathroom floor. It was cooler and wet during our stay and the floor tiles in the bathroom did not dry after we showered. So would have been nice to dry this, but that’s a small thing that didn’t impact our enjoyment.
• Jim (7/5): -
• Zih Huei (10/5): - 位於有點陡峭的山坡上,像是在森林中的精緻小屋,工作人員很親切可愛,環境舒服安靜。
• Cindy (9/5): Très bien - Hôte accueillant et très serviable, nous ayant même arrangé un dîner non prévu! Maison spacieuse et calme, située sur les hauteurs de Nuwara Eliya, soigneusement meublée et décorée.
• Jennifer (10/5): - Really lovely staff, super hospitable. Good peaceful location, just a short walk into town. Had a very enjoyable stay! Thank you!!!
• Natascha (10/5): - Ein sehr schönes Haus, geschmackvoll eingerichtete Zimmer. Der Gastgeber war zuvorkommend und freundlich.
• Marat (10/5): - Nice old-style house in quite district. Clean rooms, if needed heater or other equipment are available. I was enjoying my time in this house and staff member Madusanka was very helpful and solve any questions I had. Thank you!
• Ingrid (9/5): Cosy stay in a colder town - Large and spacious room, friendly staff and decent wifi A little outside the main centre and up a hill - just be aware
• Lakshit (9/5): - Amazing location - just a 10 minute walk from the main city. The property has colonial vibes. Room was clean and tidy. The caretaker is very helpful and takes care of all the things. He even arranged the Tuk Tuk for local sightseeing. Perfect stay for the price. Nothing as such. They can probably include breakfast with the booking for the convenience of the travellers. But other than that I had a great stay.
• Iulia (9/5): -
• Hili (9/5): - Had a great stay! Madu was a great host and super helpful
• Sabine (10/5): Schönster Aufenthalt - Sehr nettes Personal! Wir haben uns direkt zuhause gefühlt. Etwas feucht.
• Tine (9/5): Nice - Beautifull house, small kitchen available for cooking/making breakdance. Common lounge area
• van Putten (8/5): A warm welcome in a classic English villa - A very special place, and Madu the host really made us feel at home here
• Ana-Maria (10/5): - I had a great stay, the house was cosy and quiet, perfect for relaxing after a lot of travelling. The location was perfect, outside of the centre but reachable within a 10-minute walk. Charlie was a great host, could contact him anytime and was very helpful with questions. I hope to come back! Would have loved a hair dryer in the room since it is too cold in Nuwara Eliya to not use one but perhaps it would have been provided if I had asked.
• Jagath (9/5): -
• Teresa (9/5): -
• Randeny (10/5): Would definitely recommend this place. I hope to return. Loved the vibe. - loved the vibe. Tranquility. Hospitality of the host. very homely experience. I wish there was easier parking.
• Béatrice (10/5): -
• Béatrice (10/5): Guesthouse chic et conviviale. - Une superbe maison, des chambres confortables et propres, une cuisine, salle à manger et salons mis à disposition. Un hote Madu accueillant, toujours disponible et de très bon conseil. Nous recommandons cette guesthouse Rien...
• Irene (8/5): Buen alojamiento para estancia corta - La casa es muy bonita, bien cuidada y limpia. Además, puedes usar la cocina si prefieres no salir. La ubicación es tranquila, lo que garantiza un ambiente sin ruidos de la ciudad. La cama doble era algo pequeña y hacía frío en la habitación (Nuwara Eliya no es cálido). Está alejado del centro, por lo que es mejor tener una moto o tuk tuk. El precio es algo elevado en comparación con otros lugares de Sri Lanka, especialmente porque aquí no se necesita (ni hay) aire acondicionado ni ventilador que es uno de los mayores gastos. El anfitrión era atento, pero algo invasivo; a veces era difícil salir de la habitación sin que apareciera. Hubiera sido ideal un poco más de privacidad.
• Susan (10/5): Fantastic place to stay - Magnolia Hideout was a fantastic place to stay. The location is peaceful (although up a steep hill) and the host is extremely helpful. The room was spotless and very comfortable. The house is like a home, where you can relax, as well as cook your own food and do your laundry. So glad we found this place.
• Cloé (10/5): - Le lieu est magnifique et très calme, en haut d'une colline, perché dans la nature, j'aurais aimé pouvoir rester plus longtemps !!
• Alexander (10/5): Sehr empfehlenswerte Unterkunft zum Wohlfühlen - Schöne und saubere Unterkunft mit sehr bequemen Betten- sehr freundlicher Gastgeber der uns mit Tipps bestens versorgt hat. Zum Zentrum kann man in 10 Minuten zu Fuß gehen. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hierher kommen.
• Ivo (10/5): Geweldig! - De vele relaxte mooie ruimtes in het huis. En de gastvrijheid van Madusanka. Niks toe te voegen.
• sophia (10/5): Incroyable - L’accueil exceptionnel.. Chambre superbe .. Hote extrêmement adorable et aux petits soins vraiment top séjour inoubliable..
• Alex (9/5): -
• Kathleen (10/5): - Propre (2 serviettes de toilettes par personne, très appréciable) Jolie décoration Personnel acceuillant
• Ian (10/5): Nice spot with a great host - Great stay at Magnolia hideout. Madu was a star, really chilled and a lovely host and helped us out. Nothing
• Claudia (10/5): 11 von 10 Punkten - Eine kleine Villa mitten im Grünen und fußläufig von der City entfernt. Madu ist jederzeit ansprechbar und unterstützt bei Tuk Tuk Bestellungen oder wenn ein Fahrer für längere Strecken benötigt wird. Da ich etwas unglücklich mit den Restaurants in der Umgebung war, hat Madu für mich gekocht. 🩷 Ein besseres Abendessen hätte ich nicht bekommen können! DANKE!
• Daria (10/5): Все супер! - Все супер, очень стилевый отель в английском стиле, крутой сервис
• Michelle (9/5): -
• Krisztina (10/5): Great, comfortable stay close to the forest but not far from the town - A quiet, very nice place close to the forest, but only about a 10 mins walk from the city. The room was clean, the bed very comfortable, the shower was the best! There's a shared kitchen at the guests disposal, and there are nice, big common spaces. Our host, Madusanka, was really helpful, very attentive and very nice. He carried my daughter to the car when she wasn't feeling well, he asked our driver to stop at the pharmacy, and he even messaged me afterwards to ask how my daughter was doing. Thanks for your help! He keeps the house in order and running it very well. Highly recommend this place! -
• Christopher (10/5): - It's more pretty in real life than the pictures! Just a one-night stay but would have been happy to stay longer and enjoy the sitting rooms.
