This thoughtfully renovated
1860s heritage home is a joy to visit, let alone stay in. The 10 rooms have been restored to
their former glory and have bathtubs, antique furniture and period fixtures. The common
areas are airy and comfortable, there are pretty indoor courtyards, a well-stocked library, a
great little pool and an excellent restaurant.
