Cozy stay in Markdale

I stayed here for one night because the highway home was closed due to bad weather. 10/10 would stay here again. Very cozy place in a very grand old house. Julie was very welcoming and wanted to ensure my utmost comfort. Highly recommend!

Comfortable and clean facility. Everything I required was in my room. I had to leave early for work each morning and was given a healthy breakfast plate the night before so that I didn't miss out.
