Be prepared to leave heavy luggage in car. Breakfast was just ok. B&b was beautiful and grounds are exceptional. If you like the b&b experience, this is a great place. Plenty of parking. A little off the road and hidden. We enjoyed our stay.

Amazing home and grounds. A feast for the eyes when we first arrived. Absolutely beautiful heritage home. Room was stunning. Unfortunately, we only stayed one night as it was our last stop before heading home. Excellent proximity to airport. Really wish we had more time to enjoy this lovely property! We had to leave before breakfast so cannot comment on that.

This is an absolutely beautiful property and the hosts were gracious and lovely. Our room was small, but guests have access to many beautifully furnished rooms in the house along with extensive and beautiful grounds. Breakfast was delicious and served at a large dining room table so guests could visit with one another in the morning. A lovely stay, and very close to the airport.

Wonderful, welcoming property.

What a beautiful property! The room was lovely: spotless and so comfortable. This is a place I’d happily come back to for a longer stay. The welcome was cordial, breakfast was delicious, and the garden was restful and well maintained. This is a gem!
