Unbelievable!!

Toryel Houston, TX
Review Submitted: September 15, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
This place is a must. It is pure luxury and very nice for a larger group. The views from the observatory is magical. The owner, Catherine, is fantastic and very helpful. With easy access to London proper everything you would like to see is 40 minutes away. This is a great way to feel like a celebrity, especially when the kids in the neighborhood see you and ask if you are one.
