    Sweet Woodruff B&B was a charming and beautiful place -- quiet with birds and wildlife abounding -- hosts were friendly & accommodating... and the chocolate chip cookies were "to die for!"

    My husband and I stayed there on 8/12. The place was so nice and clean, and Katherine was so gracious and interesting to visit with. Her husband, Bill was away, but we plan on staying again so we will meet him then! It was quite a treat to have freshly baked choc. chip cookies in our room upon our arrival, and the breakfast was amazing too! Katherine is a "Foody", and we enjoyed eating her food and discussing that topic. The cottage is very warm and inviting. We plan on staying there again soon.

    We stayed two nights in June, 2011. The upstairs room is very private and very spacious, and well equipped with everything you need or want. Fresh cookies greet you and the breakfasts are delicious. Most importantly, the hosts, Catherine and Bill, are warm and welcoming, and willing to assist you with information about the Island, or anything else you ask or need! We will return!
