Top hotels in West End
Leaside Manor by The Leaside Group
The room was clean, cozy, and inviting. The complimentary bottle of wine to the fireplace and tub made this a room i'd certainly look to book again. The historic building itself was so charming, and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. 5 stars
