Description

"Holyrood House" is in the middle of the action, walking distance to the many restaurants and shops in the main street, the lake and the Lakehouse, Convent Gallery and most of the attractions of the area. Set in the midst of nearly an acre of wonderful peaceful gardens there is always a place to sit and contemplate the day with a glass of wine or a cup of tea.

We have three traditional Bed & Breakfast Rooms, two queen sized are with bathroom ensuite and the third is a King/Twin Spa Suite which has its own large spa bathroom a couple of steps down the hall. All rooms have electric blankets and hydronic heating is throughout the house. We serve a complimentary drink each evening with a selection of nibbles either in one of the Sitting Rooms or in the garden or on a verandah depending upon the weather. A full three course cooked breakfast is served to guests in the main Dining Room each morning. Home preserved fruits, yogurt and muesli are the first course, traditional eggs and bacon, mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes followed by home made jams and toast, tea and coffee complete the meal.
