    Because of our business, we have very few chances to "get away," but we wouldn't change our annual visit to Strong House Inn for anything! It started years ago. Everything is ALWAYS perfect! See you next year, Mary & Hugh!

    Stayed in the Somerset Room at this lovely B&B. The room was clean, spacious and airy. the morning breakfast is standard fare to get your started. The Bargiels' hospitality is warm and welcoming without being intruding. I will certainly return if I'm ever in the area again!
