Very close to shops and attractions. Easy parking. Lovely glass indoor patio gave a feel of being close to nature. Upstairs blinds were not very good at blocking out light for sleeping in Summer. Be aware if travelling with young children their bedroom is downstairs and master is a loft upstairs. Toilet access downstairs. Lovely area to stay in.

Only issue was our neighbors were chain smokers! You should have seen the bottle of butts. We couldn’t open our patio door very often. We ask the then to please smoke somewhere else. They were rude! Not from NX

The only negative was the heat was still ON when it was already hot and stuffy outside. No AC so we didn’t have the greatest sleep. Otherwise a very nice place to stay for the night. Right next to a TON of activities.

This was a lovely place to stay. Really appreciated the fireplace being on when we arrived. The room was well laid out and very clean. Only complaint was the scaffolding around the place (was not noisy though).

We were super impressed with the room . The view of fernery and the wild birds that were within arms reach while enjoying a glass of red on the back deck was truly special. Thank you so much for a wonderful relaxing comfortable stay. Located walking distance to Main Street and restaurants but still peaceful.
