The Marian Boutique Lodging House

I arrived in a downpour and it was clear reception was not interested whatsoever in showing me to my room. It was dark and there were tons of stairs and a gate and more stairs on this sprawling property so I was literally stumbling in the dark and rain heaving luggage up stairs and more stairs until I finally located my room, which was quite lovely. Breakfast would have been OK--just toast, which is fine--but the butter tasted rancid, the jam looked strange. I didn't have the peanut butter. There's a large water jug for refilling your bottle with filtered water, which is a bonus. Pool itself is nice, but loungers are wooden and there are no pillows or cushioning, or umbrellas or any kind of shade; that could be improved. Overall, it's a really lovely little manor house steeped in character and history.

A quirky hotel in a great location. Breakfast not great but can't complain as free.

a unique place to stay in a very good location. a former school hostel converted into a boutique hotel (basic)
