Such a beautiful old home. Each night when we returned it was like coming home for the day. Breakfast was always on time and delicious. The staff went out of their way to meat my wife's diet restrictions. We will definitely be back.

Excellent B&B experience overall. Quaint. Friendly. Good breakfast with perfect accommodation of gluten insensitivity. Parking lot is tidy with easy in and out. Bathroom was tiny, but that is expected in an old home. Biggest negative was an uncomfortable bed.

Nice location and clean. Beware the beds are really soft and the pillows over stuffed. It was tough to sleep in such a great location because we were used to firmer beds and softer pillows. BUT WE WOULD DEFINITELY STAY THERE AGAIN.
