There isn’t much nearby but that’s why we booked it. My only suggestion would be some festoon lights on the terrace as it would have been lovely to sit out in the evening despite the cold. Looking to go back in the summer and maybe a trip on the water ##### Lisa Winterford This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Justin Hancock Apr 4, 2025 #### Ideal for dog walking, lovely views, vey quiet. Ideal for dog walking, lovely views, vey quiet. Cosey, clean all the amenities provided. Exspensive for two people. Dangerous stap outside from conservatory to roof garden and the trap on the left drainer need flushing out. We told the owner this should have been done before we arrived. ##### Justin Hancock ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Stovalls-Inn.h13592.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [Excellence Punta Cana - Adults Only All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Excellence-Punta-Cana-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h982733.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-The-STRAT-Hotel.h41081.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Mt Hope Hamilton Intl Arpt ON](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Mt-Hope-Hamilton-Intl-Arpt-ON.h855789.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels.d6141041.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Oahu](https://www.expedia.ca/Oahu-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d180077-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d180002-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Rome (FCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/fco/detroit-to-rome) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/man/calgary-to-manchester) > > [Flights from Ahmedabad (AMD) to Regina (YQR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/amd/yqr/ahmedabad-to-regina) > > [Flights from London (YXU) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxu/yyc/london-to-calgary) ### Packages > [Palm Springs Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs.d180676.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Québec City Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City.d180017.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [St. Croix Island Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Croix-Island.d602171.Destination-Travel-Guides)
