Beautifully decorated with all the facilities expected. Noisey road at the front of the house due to it being a cut through. The house bedrooms have been divided up into seperate appartments and so some swithches needed are not in your appartment. A concern about security, front door and room door locks great but the period patio doors inside the rooms were poorly secured with flimsy locks. ##### David Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels.d179995.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton New York Times Square West](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-New-York-Times-Square-West.h16255092.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Atlanta-Hotels-InterContinental-Buckhead-Atlanta.h1152203.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Spa-Hotel.0-0-d178245-tSpaHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Downtown Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Halifax-Halifax-Hotels.0-n6217399-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Niagara-Falls.h1403139.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tarrytown](https://www.expedia.ca/Tarrytown-Hotels.d7243.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Element Edmonton West](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Element-Edmonton-West.h23533366.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tofino](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels.d6094955.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Best Western Mountainview Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Golden-Hotels-Best-Western-Mountainview-Inn.h41330.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Honduras](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Honduras-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d76-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Dreams-Macao-Punta-Cana.h38966191.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/sgn/vancouver-to-ho-chi-minh-city) > > [Flights from Lincoln (YFC) to Kingston (YGK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yfc/ygk/fredericton-to-kingston) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Bejuco (PBP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/pbp/toronto-to-punta-islita) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Barcelona (BCN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/bcn/edmonton-to-barcelona) > > [Flights from Prince George (YXS) to Fort McMurray (YMM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxs/ymm/prince-george-to-fort-mcmurray) > > [Flights from Seattle (SEA) to San Francisco (SFO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/sfo/seattle-to-san-francisco) ### Packages > [Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden](https://www.expedia.ca/Dr-Sun-Yat-Sen-Classical-Chinese-Garden-Downtown-Vancouver.d503155.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Gibraltar Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Gibraltar.d1325.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Tulum](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/182189/Tulum) > > [Greece Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Greece.d67.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Oaxaca Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Oaxaca.d2631.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Arizona](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/golf-vacations/204/Arizona) ### General > [Visit Revelstoke](https://www.expedia.ca/Revelstoke.dx10607)
