Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Welkom Homes

We are a family that has multiple premium vacation rentals. We are super hosts and take pride in providing each guest with a 5 star stay.
Why they chose this property
This School Bonnet House has only had two previous owners. Built in 1893, it is an immaculately preserved Victoria home located in the center of Manchester on Bonnet Street. A 1 one minute walk to the coffee shops, restaurants and stores. It's not unusual to book a home in Manchester and find out the AC is supplied by noisy window units. We have recently installed a new central heat and AC system with four different zones for your convenience.
What makes this property unique
Step out your door and walk to the restaurants and shops. Every corner of this home has been decorated carefully and is Instagram-worthy. You will not find a more convenient location to all the shops and restaurants downtown.
