Lovely house and grounds, and people.

The house and grounds are beautiful. They reminded us of a fine English country house. Sarah and Ryan are ideal B&B hosts; friendly but not intrusive. Cold wine, beer and soft drinks were available in for guests to help themselves, as well as tea and coffee. We were attracted to the Howarth Suite with its whirlpool tub, and were not disappointed. It was large, full of beautiful and interesting things (as was the rest of the house), and the tub was easily big enough for two and worked very well. A very filling breakfast was served elegantly in a lovely room and included eggs freshly sourced from the property. They haven't been doing this for many years, but they certainly are doing it right!

A Perfect Stay- Cozy, Clean and Delicious!

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of staying overnight at this charming bed and breakfast, and it was nothing short of wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. The place was incredibly clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated—every detail added to its warm and inviting atmosphere. All the amenities and accommodations were top-notch. The room was spacious and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We especially appreciated the little touches that made it feel extra special. The highlight, though, was the homemade breakfast. Made from scratch, it was absolutely delicious—fresh, hearty, and clearly made with love. It was the perfect start to our day and truly set this B&B apart. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway. We’ll definitely be back!

Cute and quiet little house right off a main area. Comfortable and clean environment with a welcoming staff. Check in was a little different with a self check in method but was quick and simple! Breakfast was cute and intimate with fresh eggs and a well presented plate served with a smile. Overall we have had a great night and will def be returning!

My wife and I loved our stay at this bed and breakfast. We loved the room, that included a Jacuzzi for two, as well as the beautiful grounds that included a swimming pool, outdoor Jacuzzi, etc. The common area offered free coffee and drinks 24/7, and a beautiful dining room where we were served a wonderful home-cooked breakfast both days that we were there. The innkeeper 's, Sarah and Ryan, were a pleasure to meet and talk to, and their hospitality was accommodating and outstanding. All of this for no more than the cost of a hotel, we will definitely be back to to stay and visit the nearby Bull run restaurant, that offers great food and live entertainment year round. We will likely go just to hang out at the bed and breakfast and enjoy all that they have to offer. Thanks to Sarah and Ryan for making this birthday getaway one that we will remember!! Tom & Paula.
