We love this BnB and recommend it to everyone we know. The period building has been decorated with period decor making it a unique stay. The rooms and beds are comfortable. The hosts are welcoming. Breakfast is excellent. OneMore restaurant across the road is a great place for an upscale chef dinner. We will be back and continue to recommend this place to couples, families, single travellers. It’s a gem.
