    This isn't the first visit and stay at the Carriage Way Cottage. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave - you are part of the Johnson family and they extend the most hospitable service and care imaginable! John and Jeanie are two of the most wonderful people in the world and, in my opinion, make the Carriage Way so special. No detail is left undone. They show how much they love what they are doing and their staff reflects this same quality. I highly recommend staying at the Carriage Way! Great breakfasts, wonderful people and the location couldn't be any better! You can walk most anywhere and you are just one block from St. George's Street. We go at least twice a year to stay almost a week! Wish it could be a month!!! The Carriage Way is THE BEST!!!! Try it!!! Terri Cole, Sarasota, FL


    Try it; you'll love it!

    We have chosen Carriage Way time and time again because of their hospitality, atmosphere and location. It is close enough to historical shopping district on St. George St. (walking distance), but yet far enough away not to be bothered by noise. You are always greeted warmly by the staff and always made to feel welcomed. The food is fabulous, plentiful and always fresh baked items in the afternoon. They have a variety of wines, beers and liquors to suit just about anyone’s taste and of course, a variety of sodas as well. The coffee is made early for the early morning risers and the news paper is readily available. I would recommend this Bed & Breakfast to anyone.

    Our daughter and son joined us in this holiday. Our hosts covered all our needs including providing triple " A" batteries late at night for the children to try out their new Harry Potter wands. We liked their sincere desire to please us and the extra effort done to look for our iPad charger. We consider them as new found friends making our 25th family holiday perfect!
