Touring this great house is a must! Full of history and a gorgeous place to stay… - We are lucky enough to stay at this beautiful house, and just toured around the house with Sally! What she didn’t know about the house was not worth asking g for, and you can tell she is passionately attached to the house and its history! Thank you Sally you have made this experience so worthwhile! A must to visit even if you do not stay here!

Sally is a beautifully storyteller - This tour was the highlight of our trip to George Town. Sally is a beautiful storyteller, she brings the property to life and transports you to a different time. I cannot recommend this experience enough.
