  • As 1871 House is a historical building and retains much of its 19th Century structure, it is not suited for all accessibility needs.
  • The charming, late 1800s townhouse, is not a modern structure – think creaky floorboards and things as such.
  • This suite does not have an intercom or buzzer system.
  • This suite faces the garden side of the house and consists of one large room without a separate bedroom area.
  • There’s no elevator in the building and the suite is two flights up from the house’s entry hall level. Guests are responsible for transporting their luggage to their accommodation.
  • The kitchen is small but still good enough to prepare your morning coffee and other basics.
