    Our first B&B stay, and we can't imagine anything being better than this! Loved the attention to detail...cozy and inviting decor, elegant dining, room comfort and conveniences. Great value, reasonably priced for the high quality of service and amenities we received. Highly recommended! Ann and Derek were exemplary hosts!
