Guest Services



We provide a personalised service for our guests and add our own touch of luxury in the process. We tailor our service to make you as comfortable as possible during your stay with us. The following services are standard and included in the room tariff (unless you have selected a "room only" special - see details below):

Sumptuous Breakfast - we've developed a menu that should have something to tempt everyone. The freshest quality local ingredients are sourced and your breakfast is made to order.
Silver Service - breakfast is served in the Dining Room from 8:00 am till 9:30 am. It's usually a formally set table comprising of silver and antique china (your host's passion).
Complimentary Tea & Coffee - served on request at any time and usually accompanied by home baking.
Day Service - while you're away during the day, your room is serviced which includes opening the drapes, making the bed, removing trash and a general straightening of pillows, throws and the floor space.
Turn Down Service - around 7:30 pm, your room is prepared for the evening. This service includes drawing the drapes, adjusting room lighting to a low level, turning down your bed, supplying fresh water and crystal glasses for overnight and in winter, switching on your electric blanket and adjusting the heating. You'll find a sweet treat adorning your pillow once we've finished.
Complimentary Beverages - the offer of refreshments on arrival (or soon afterwards, once you're settled).
Complimentary Bath Robes - for use during your stay.
Internet - High speed broadband is available in your room.
Business Facilities - fax and printing services are available. There may be a charge for larger print jobs.

As with all our services, if there's something else you need, please don't hesitate to talk to your host. If at all possible, we try to facilitate all requests (within reason).

Seasonal "Room Only" Accommodation Specials


From time to time we offer "room only" accommodation specials. When we do, it is clearly advertised as such and is equivalent to a motel experience, except you'll enjoy a much nicer, homely and elegant environment.

A "room only" special means just that - you get the room with the linens, etc. appropriate for that room but minus all the perks included in full rate tariffs, e.g. breakfast, turn down service and complimentary bath robes are not included.

Complimentary tea and coffee is included in the tariff.
