We never met Jade. I believe he was living in another part of the house but he didn't make an effort to come and see us and introduce himself. He wasn't there at the designated check-in time so we were locked out until other guests helped us in. There are only 2 parking spots for 5 rooms. This house must have been quite grand in the 1960s but it is in sad need of a good scrubbing now. No kettle and cups are not microwave safe so bring your own. No dining area in the room. There is a great balcony but it has no lounge chairs. The room is spacious and the house is in a wonderful location.
