Greg and Peter were wonderful hosts. The room was extremely clean and a good size. The views of their garden and towards the bay were spectacular. Their breakfast was an absolute masterpiece - great choices, variety each day and so well served. We absolutely loved our stay and highly recommend them to anyone looking for special accommodation so close to Russell town centre.
This historic house, built in the early 1900's has been beautifully maintained with exquisite attention to detail throughout. The views are stunning and the breakfasts, prepared by one of the hosts who is a trained chef are to die for. Easy walking distance into Russell, with loads to do, see, and places to eat there. A variety of rooms and super friendly hosts, can't wait to return, summer or winter.
The outlook from the property is spectacular and our hosts, Greg and Peter, went 'above and beyond' to make our stay extremely special. The breakfasts were a true feast!
Historic Bnb with multi level rooms.
Hosts were gracious
Would return with request of a main level room which had views. The attic room was with no view, low ceilings and slanted floors.
Enjoyed Russell and it’s history.
Wonderful stay at Arcadia Lodge, from the friendly personal greeting (Greg), super breakfasts (Peter), lovely room, cleanliness, to our departure 5 days later. Highly recommended. Thanks again guys.
