Perfect
I have been coming to Guilford for 2 decades to visit family. I have stayed in every hotel / motel / VRBO / etc in a 20 mile radius. Nothing compares to the Carriage House! It is well decorated, clean, has an idyllic property, every amenity you could ask for and the owner is one of the nicest people I have encountered. I will always look to book this property in the future if I am fortunate enough to find it available!

Fantastic Home Away From Home
This carriage house was fantastic. We loved everything about this place. There were lots of little things that made our stay extra special. The backyard was so relaxing as well. Definitely would recommend this cute place to anyone. The property owner/manager was extra wonderful to work with as well. 5 star rating!

Amazing place!
My friend and I had a very nice week at Carriage House. The hosts look after the house and the land very well. Rebecca responded very quickly to our requests and we even had the chance to have a drink and chat with her. She's very nice and friendly!
