What a gorgeous place to stay, private, clean and beautiful. The little touches were super special and a lovely friendly host. Breakfast foods provided and Christine even went the extra mile for this celiac girl. Beautiful bedroom and linen and the shower was outstanding. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend. Off street parking too. Everything you need and more.
