Back in time

The B&B is very comfortable, and the room has lots of character. The building is a heritage building, and thus does not have an elevator. However the decor matched the age of the building and is like staying in the past. It’s a gorgeous building, and I loved my room!

A Great Adaptation of an Old Building

The rooms here are associated with a separate catering business that is run by the owners. Truly a "family place" there were relatives and other family members visiting and working on the catering side while we were there. Very friendly. The old building was modified for the combined purposes, so there are some work-arounds and old-building "features" that you won't find anywhere else. The owner offered, and we took, "bagged lunches" for the day that we left, which was very convenient for us. Parking was on the street, but the small town has limited traffic and felt quite safe. For those who enjoy staying in this kind of place, it was very nice, with even a separate "reading room" filled with a wide range of books, including some about the history of the town and area, as well as big comfortable chairs.

No AC, No sleep

Host was lovely, breakfast was great, the room was beautiful and spacious, however it was not enjoyable to stay in. I was excited to stay here after seeing lots of good reviews but I soon realized I missed the ones that mentioned no AC. It was incredibly hot inside and even with window open and the small fan blowing, and it being cool outside, it stayed very hot the entire night. We had to leave the door to the hallway open to get a bit of air circulation. As a result we didn't get much sleep and the stuffiness left us feeling unwell in the morning - not sure if we were allergic to dust inside or something else? I understand that because of the location and the building being older, AC isn't common but it would be nice if there was at least a powerful fan in the room for Some circulation.
