Maison historique au calme
Lymond house est une maison historique située au calme, dans une rue sans issue. La propriété, qui date de 1855, est magnifique. Elle est meublée avec du mobilier d'époque ; la décoration est particulièrement élégante…

This historic property needs maintenance. We were the only guests there, as it was rented out for a movie shoot, after we had booked.

Un rappel des Indes d'antan
Dans cette region de montagne ou les journees sont tres fraiches 15 à 17°, cet hotel de style anglais est tres agréable avec un beau jardin.
