    This was the first time for my wife and I to stay in a bed and breakfast and we loved it. The historic home was beautifull and charming with lots of history, the breakfast was elegant and delicious and the owner was very friendly and helpful. We definitely want to go back soon, they have set the bar high for other B&B. Robert

    My wife and I enjoyed the jacuzzi tub, and found the place very restful. The breakfast was very nice, if a little predictable.

    Great place to stay! The Victorian setting and comfy accommodations made me feel so pampered. We enjoyed the Carriage House Room and all the attention to detail - from the variety of DVD's in the room to beverages in the fridge (cold). We enjoyed the privacy of being able to come and go as we pleased and the very gracious hostess that was ready to serve us but also ready to "leave us alone". Breakfast was beautiful, delicious and we got to meet some other interesting people that were guests there as well. Overall it was a great experience and we will recommend it to others and return there ourselves.

    This was our second trip to this beautiful house. We had friendly care and were really pleased when we mentioned we liked de-caffinated hot tea that it was included on a shopping run and showed up for breakfast.
