The house was cozy and spotlessly clean, and the gardens around the house were gorgeous. Our hosts were so personable and attentive. The breakfasts were very tasty, and the presentation made us feel so special. The only thing that potential guests should know is that the staircase to the guest suite is very narrow and a bit steep. The elderly should know this before booking.

Rachelle and Kevin could not have been more hospitable. My dietary needs are a little complicated but Rachelle went out of her way to meet them. Our room was neat, clean and cozy and there was a nice big walk in closet. It is within walking distance to downtown. The garden is beautiful and the house is very tastefully decorated. We definitely would love to visit again.

Lovely Experience, very walkable!

I decided to take my 17-year-old daughter on a little weekend getaway, her first bed and breakfast experience. The room is well-appointed and we felt well looked after by our hosts. The breakfasts were fresh and delish. We would definitely recommend folks stay there who are looking for a quality b&b experience. The location was an easy, flat 10-15 minute walk from the Avon Theatre and lots of restaurants and boutiques.
