Beautiful, unique stay! Julie was really kind walking us through the ins and outs of the property during check-in. So much care and attention put into every room. And the book collection is amazing.
Inviting beautiful place filled with art, flowers and amazing claw foot tubs. Julie and Peter were extremely kind and accommodating hosts. Highly recommend this property which is also a lovely short walk to shops and restaurants and the waterfront.
We managed to pick a weekend with solid rain, so we were mostly stuck inside with two small children. They enjoyed the basket of instruments and areas to explore, and the five-year old wants to return. Be aware that this is not suitable for people with limited mobility.
I am impressed by the cleanliness of this large place, plus the interesting art work.
It's quaint and beautiful, with lots of space. Cooking in that kitchen is a real treat. The courtyard is like an oasis. Not having a bathroom on the second floor is an inconvenience but would not dissuade me from returning.
An elegant place with a dream courtyard. All the bedrooms were awesome. The great room was a gathering spot, every night. This converted church is a relaxing and luxurious pleasure.
We were so happy to have been able to stay in this beautiful home. The feeling was as if we were in Europe . Julie and Peter were available and helpful. We would come back . Loved it !!
Peter and Julie are wonderful hosts.
They gave us a tour and made us feel like home.
The space is even better than the pictures show. Charming and beautiful in a cozy part of town.
We will come back for sure!
