    The location inside of the fort is unique and super special. The house itself is historic and interesting; while being comfortable and cozy.

    What an amazing and unique spot to stay in. Despite it being an old house it was very well heated which came in handy during a storm, including hot water bottles provided and a wood fire in the living room! Only a very short walk to the city...

    Emailed instructions, staff welcomed us at the gate with keys. Very easy! Met with property manager to give keys back. Really enjoyed being in the middle of the city.
