Violet Bank Museum Tours and Activities

I was very pleased with the Colonies. They are like townhomes. We had the 2 bedroom. Very clean and spacious. The pool was great for the kids. It looks exactly as they advertise. The price was excellent also.

We had a lovely stay. The bed was very comfortable, breakfast overlooking the pool was wonderful, and the grounds were a treat to walk around. We didn’t do a wine tasting, but I can imagine how beautiful the property must be in the fall. I would happily stay here again. The only reason for four stars instead of five was the noise from the room above us. I expected some creaking from an older property—that is part of its charm—but the sound carried much more than expected, and we could hear the guests above us quite loudly throughout the night. Next time, I would request a room on the top floor.

Lovely resort with modern facilities (excellent gym, good pools, bike rentals, WiFi). All staff were excellent - from waitresses in the James Landing restaurant, gym staff, reception staff and maintenance guys. Had a few maintenance issues in the condo but they were sorted very quickly. The only downside was our accommodation (1 bed condo) was quite old fashioned .. would benefit from modernisation.
