    Thankyou for a pleasant stay. We enjoyed the hospitality of our hosts, the abundant breakfast and the romantic atmosphere of the historic building.

    These new owners have ruined a venerable B & B. The place is dirty, food mediocre, and grounds unkept. PLEASE don't judge American B&Bs by this place. If you stay there it's on you!


    Not as it is represented!

    Cliffcrest has seen better days. Adriana and Constantin are very nice and friendly, but a bit disorganized. The much touted grounds are overgrown and neglected. The dining/registration area needs a good vacuuming. There are piles of bedding, blankets, etc. everywhere. The "gourmet" breakfast was a huge disappointment: no cereal or yogurt. Coffee brewed in a pot that looked like it hadn't been washed in a long time. Supermarket breads which were toasted and passed around on a coffee filter (I am not kidding)! No bacon or sausauge offered with the scrambled eggs which were fine. The beds had lumpy mattresses, but the bedrooms and bath were clean. I would not return! Stayed there in March, 2011.
