I had very high expectations after realizing the bungalow / cottage was right behind the Langham, and had at one time been a part of the hotel. The Langham is where I spent the past two birthdays and Xmas's.... where I went on my second date with my current boyfriend. It is a very special place to me.... I wanted a special place to celebrate our second year anniversary.
Chris's place was even better than I expected. It's a beautiful classy setting. There were fresh cut flowers in the rooms, which was such a nice touch. The sitting area in front of the place is a wonderful place to sit and have wine and cheese.
The inside also allows for comfort, in that there is a full refrigerator and little kitchen area where you can prepare / serve food.
We did spend some time watching TV, something that we don't normally do (but it was a little cold, and plus with the COVID-13 situation, not much was open to do anyway). This is an odd comment because we all have a multitude of nice tvs at home, but three us mentioned how much we liked the Samsung tv - the screen was large and had a very clear picture.
The neighborhood is beautiful, and we had a nice time just walking through the neighborhood. We also spent some time visiting the Langham. Because of the pandemic. much was closed in the area, even at the Langham, but they did have the outside bar area open during the day, and downstairs patio restaurant open for brunch on Sunday. In town, we went to some nice restaurants that had outside sitting.
I wasn't necessarily going for value - but undoubtedly it was. The cost of one night at Chris's was comparable to the nicer rooms at the Langham.
For me, it was the perfect venue. Beautiful, romantic, and close to many nice places to dine. Looking forward to returning. :)
