Simply Gorgeous

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Mark & John's Garden Rooms - a beautiful location, in an interesting garden, within easy walking distance of Nelson itself. Our hosts have thought of everything and nothing is too much trouble for them. The bed is extremely comfortable, the shower powerful, breakfast iss plentiful and tasty and we highly recommend Ah House as a delightful to spend your vacation.

Helt underbart B&B

Det bästa B&B vi någonsin har bott. Ett underbart charmigt ställe med de bästa värdar man kan tänka sig. Rekommenderas varmt till alla som har tröttnat på hotellkedjor och opersonliga boenden, men som söker kvalitet.
