Loved by guests
"Lovely bar with rocking chairs outside to enjoy a drink in the sun."
"We stayed at the Butler mansion and the room felt luxurious but also had a historic feel to it which was what we liked."
"The bathroom had a large walk-in shower with a glass door- much better than a shower curtain."
