Peters Ark
We managed to pick a weekend with solid rain, so we were mostly stuck inside with two small children. They enjoyed the basket of instruments and areas to explore, and the five-year old wants to return. Be aware that this is not suitable for people with limited mobility.
I am impressed by the cleanliness of this large place, plus the interesting art work.

A Unique Experience
It's quaint and beautiful, with lots of space. Cooking in that kitchen is a real treat. The courtyard is like an oasis. Not having a bathroom on the second floor is an inconvenience but would not dissuade me from returning.

An elegant place with a dream courtyard. All the bedrooms were awesome. The great room was a gathering spot, every night. This converted church is a relaxing and luxurious pleasure.
