    We stayed in one of the smallest rooms. It was cozy, but nice. We found the hostess pleasant and helpful as we planned our weekend. We had the babymoon package. It seemed a fair deal, especially compared to more pricey options at other B & Bs. The town is a great place to relax before having children.

    We had a wonderful stay at the Whistling Swan Inn. The Inn is charming, very well maintained and immaculate. The owners, Ros and Tom, were very accomodating, helpful and totally committed to guest comfort. I enthusiastically recommend the Whistling Swan Inn!

    My husband and I stayed there last weekend for a night to celebrate our anniversary. This place was extremely clean, the baked goods were delicious and the owners were a delight. For one night, we didn't want to travel too far and this turned out to be a delightful experience. I look forward to coming back in the summer or fall when there is a bit more to do (like the vineyards nearby :)

    Nice B&B

    We really enjoyed our stay. The room was a bit cold. It was hard to figure out how to warm it up. But the jacuzzi was room and comfortable and the entire B&B was very relaxing. We would stay there again.

    Beautiful, clean & friendly!
