I would recommend this hotel

The room was clean and pretty. The breakfast was also amazing with some food choice. My only regret is that I had no time using sauna.

Excellent clean spacious room, good breakfast, walkable into town in 5 mins, what more could you want. My only comment is glass containers for the products in the shower could be dangerous if dropped

A nice boutique hotel, lots of attention paid to details. Had to catch a flight the next morning so unfortunately couldn’t try out the breakfast. Would definitely recommend

Loved the property and had a great stay. Only grievance was the included continental breakfast with our reservation which was not available this morning.
Randy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a unique place! Breakfast was fantastic, the decor is gorgeous, the little extras were very thoughtful and kind. We found it because we needed a room to sleep 3, which dramatically reduced the options for us, but what a gem we uncovered because of it! We had a great time playing trivia games and listening to your excellent vinyl collection in the lounge in the evening. Definitely would stay again if we’re ever back in town!

We found August House while planning to visit family in town. It was very conveniently located and easy to find. The decor was very cozy, beautiful, clean and thoughtful. It was such a pleasure coming home to this relaxing location at the end of our busy days. It is a shame we couldn’t stay for longer. Everything was so perfect, including the wonderful breakfast!

The property is a beautiful old home with magnificent woodwork. It has been extensively renovated in a very tasteful way. The bathroom is incredibly modern and we liked everything about the property.

10/10 Exceptional

We LOVED our stay at The August House. We were in town for a nearby wedding, and this was a perfect home base. Beautiful property, we felt safe and it was very quiet. Loved all of the little touches around the property. The self controlled AC was a bonus for two people who love a cooler temp, and the sound machine was a nice addition as well. Only good things to say. Will definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.
