Beautiful property! Recent overnight stay to attend a wedding. Appreciated the early checkin to get dressed. Purchased a bottle of wine for later that evening, very reasonably priced. Enjoyed relaxing in the various sitting rooms while admiring the beautiful antique furniture and artwork. A very welcoming space! Very comfy bed. And a delicious full breakfast the next morning prior to checkout. Would highly recommend!

The location and the home were especially beautiful. It is obvious that a lot of effort has gone into both interior decor and outdoor landscaping. Grateful for the A/C on such a hot and humid day!

It was a hot day. It would be lovely if the room was cooled before our arrival. We provided our expected time of arrival by your request. This would have been just another pleasant experience for us. Breakfast was great as well as the service.

This a large, beautiful, and well maintained 19th century heritage home. It has amazing character and is beautifully furnished in a style matching the home’s character. The owners/hosts Con and Rose were very warm and welcoming. We enjoyed a nice bacon and egg breakfast in the dining area with the other guests. There are many amenities down the street (gas station, grocery store, bank, and restaurants). An excellent choice if you need a place to stay for a couple of nights that is only 10 minutes from the airport by car.

A beautiful mid 19th century home exquisitely decorated and well maintained with lovely gardens surrounding. We had a sound sleep and delicious breakfast the following morning. I would highly recommend this quiet adult oriented B&B.
