They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. They were friendly, easy to talk to and the continental breakfast each morning was amazing. Fresh fruit grown on-site, homemade banana muffins and homemade jams available. The grounds were extensive, well kept and accessable to all guests. Suit was spacious, clean, private and comfortable. The highlight was the robotic lawn mower, MIIMO which my daughter was fascinated with. Will definitely be staying again.

As hosts go, have never felt more welcome and spoilt by the friendliness in any other property in the world. The fairy under the pillow (its a manx thing), was just a special moment in one of many. The journey was very stressful and chaotic due to the weather and within minutes this had been forgotten. The bed, slept for ten hours in utter comfort in total quiet and woke to a great breakfast with some unique personal touches. Can't fault either the place or the people, the trip was just waaay too short. ##### Terance Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander Aug 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Alexander Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### alexander Mar 9, 2025 ##### alexander Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aisha Aug 18, 2024 ##### Aisha Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cheap Hotels in Nanaimo](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d3908-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Riviera Maya - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Riviera-Maya-All-Inclusive.h1370022.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloom Mississauga, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Bloom-Mississauga.h74035472.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Terra Cotta Conservation Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Terra-Cotta-Conservation-Area-Hotels.0-l553248621532864950-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Hongdae](https://www.expedia.ca/Hongdae-Seoul-Hotels.0-n6159390-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Bluenose Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Bar-Harbor-Hotels-The-Bluenose-Inn.h1690551.Hotel-Information) > > [Fountain Park Hotel, BW Signature Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Lakeshore-Hotel-And-Suites.h1373950.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kamloops](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamloops-Hotels.d3979.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aYVR-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Little Italy](https://www.expedia.ca/Little-Italy-Toronto-Hotels.0-n6228018-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Couchiching Beach Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Couchiching-Beach-Park-Hotels.0-l553248621532865160-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Resorts San Diego County](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-County-Resort-Hotels.d178304-aaResortHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Empire Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Empire-Suites.h17260882.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Goderich](https://www.expedia.ca/Goderich-Hotels.d181877.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Miami Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Miami-Airport.h17844151.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Victoria (YWH) to Vancouver (CXH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywh/cxh/victoria-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Dalian (DLC) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dlc/nrt/dalian-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Taoyuan City (TPE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/tpe/vancouver-to-taipei) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Osbourn (ANU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/anu/toronto-to-st-johns) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Baker Lake (YBK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/ybk/winnipeg-to-baker-lake) > > [Flights from New York (JFK) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/jfk/del/new-york-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Orlando (MCO) to Houston (IAH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mco/iah/orlando-to-houston) > > [Flights from Sudbury (YSB) to Windsor (YQG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ysb/yqg/sudbury-to-windsor) ### Cars ### Packages > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations)
