Beautiful herritage home built early 1900's by Lismores first doctor. They have gone to great lengths to preserve the original building & style. Great value, clean, friendly staff, decent breakfast and brilliant shared kitchen. It will be interesting to see if Melville House continues to hold the high standard & care it's previous owner dedicated her life to.
