The door opened and our host in period clothing courteously invited us to step through the time portal into his Victorian home. He gave us a little tour that revealed fascinating history of his lovingly restored and decorated dwelling and the garden in the back. Our room was exactly what we expected from the pictures. Our host was most friendly and welcoming. His top priority was to make his guests comfortable and happy. We had many interesting conversations during our stay and left hoping to see him soon again.
Mind you, not everyone is a match for this fairytale home with a touch of Alice in Wonderland. Make sure to read the description of the room you are booking and use common sense. You just might not fit in here both figuratively and literally. If you want Four Seasons style standard accommodations, don’t waste your time and book a hotel. But if you open you mind and immerse yourself in the period and the spirit in which the house was built, you will have a wonderful and exciting adventure staying here.
