Our hosts were extaordinary, and went out of their way to make us comfortable--including inviting us to join the other guests (and a cold beverage) in a congenial gathering in their lovely garden. They are justly proud of their B&B and it shows!

The hosts were congenial and thoughtful and made us feel welcome. The house is charming and full of the character of another time. Jeannine made interesting and tasty breakfasts. Felt very much like a home.

We stayed last year for our anniversary and we're returning again. There's no words to describe Jeannine's fantastic gourmet breakfasts or her hospitality. Fairly close to the university and whole lot of other things (shopping & dining!) It... read more
