I had a wonderful stay at Westbury House. The area is peaceful, beautiful and very safe. The stunning mountain views were a highlight and made every morning feel special.

Easy checking in, and much easier checking out, even in the early hours of the morning. I stayed here for a week and loved how quiet and peaceful it was. The place is spotlessly clean, esthetically pleasing with all your daily essentials available. I really admire the amount of effort that was put into explaining the house rules and expectations- in detail, with humility and respect, I never had to call the host for anything until I left.
