Reservation BnB was a delightful surprise. From the doggie blanket and treats to the on site electric vehicle charging, I throughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend the property to anyone looking for accomodation. In Gore. The unit was nicely presented and the bed was very comfortable. Jane and Bruce (hosts) were friendly and super helpful.

A lovely stay

It was perfect! Home made stewed rhubarb! Wow. I spent in the first morning— that never happens. I’m a former motelier and I tend to be a little finicky! No worries here!
