Set in a lush little garden, this replica half-timbered mansion looks like it belongs in a colonial-era hill town in Myanmar. Rooms are petite but attractive with all the trimmings, including blankets for the cool season. There's a shared upper sitting terrace and some upstairs rooms have their own balconies. Free wi-fi plus a friendly owner.
