Your
hosts Betty and Larry Kendall are both passionate about the
Tudor period in English history. Whether this comes from
Larry's English background or their visits to the "old
country", Elizabeth's Manor is a way for them to live their
dream and they want to share it with you.
Imagine this!
You arrive at your destination, a reproduction
of a fine Tudor manor house, to a warm, friendly welcome from Betty &
Larry and a complimentary bottle of Champagne and a box of chocolates.
The surroundings and hospitality will make you
feel like royalty.
Elizabeth's Manor provides the ambience and comfort of
yesteryear with the richly decorated gallery room, beautifully
appointed suites with four poster beds, superb en suite and all the
comforts you need for an enjoyable stay, to relax and unwind. Now available also is the brand new self contained Anne's Cottage.
Breakfast is a true English gourmet delight
and can be served in your room or The Gallery.
"The
upper floors would overhang the ground floors, enlarging
the square footage on the upper stories. For the wealthier
merchants, the exposed wood beams would be elaborately
carved or shaped."
"In January my husband and I decided to break our drive to Melbourne and stay at a B&B just north of Albury, instead of the usual motel or hotel. What a pleasant surprise! Elizabeth's Manor, five minutes off the Hume Highway, is run by Betty and Larry Kendall, whose attention to detail is superb.
The large building has two huge bedrooms which sleep two in luxury, and a cottage which can sleep four and be self-contained if desired. Our room had a queen-sized four=poster bed, walk-in wardrobe, bathroom with bat, tea and coffee facilities with home-made biscuits, TV and fridge.
We elected to have dinner there, which was served in the gallery and included a beautiful roast, dessert and wine. Before dinner we had complimentary champagne and a cheese platter, with the complimentary port afterwards. Our hosts were friendly but unobtrusive.
Next morning, after a full English breakfast in the pretty garden, we set off. A note on our windscreen told us we had been given a "thank-you for staying with us" - a car wash. All this and they take they senior's card. "
