Top Balmacara Hotel Reviews

House Of Juniper - The Manse

House Of Juniper - The Manse

8/10 Good
"The room was nice but the manse itself was “cool” in character. There is no lobby or sitting area outside of your room and there is no person at the front desk to ask questions of. The hair dryer was not working properly and honestly, in the morning, there was no one I could ask for a replacement, short of restaurant staff. Restaurant staff were lovely and breakfast was great. Bedding was great as was the bed. Bathroom was very tiny. This is not a luxury accommodation as led to believe. Nice but I don’t think it was worth the price that we paid."
