My daughter and I came in for the weekend for a college visit. We were out a lot, but enjoyed what time we did spend at The Manor. The check-in and check-out process was very smooth; everything was just as written in the instructions we were provided. The home is beautiful and the room we stayed in was very clean. Equally important, the bed was very, very comfortable. Anything you might have a question about was addressed in a bedside booklet/guide put together by Linda. A lock was provided to use for leaving the room for extended periods. Locking from inside the room was not as easy; the lock seemed to be stripped out. We felt comfortable enough, but this might bother someone else. Claire, the tabby cat, is very much a part of the 'Room with a View' experience. She is extremely friendly and, as we are cat-people, we enjoyed her visits.
