Amazing home and grounds. A feast for the eyes when we first arrived. Absolutely beautiful heritage home. Room was stunning. Unfortunately, we only stayed one night as it was our last stop before heading home. Excellent proximity to airport. Really wish we had more time to enjoy this lovely property! We had to leave before breakfast so cannot comment on that.

Be prepared to leave heavy luggage in car. Breakfast was just ok. B&b was beautiful and grounds are exceptional. If you like the b&b experience, this is a great place. Plenty of parking. A little off the road and hidden. We enjoyed our stay.

The public areas of the building are wonderful, very inviting and comfortable. The grounds are extensive and well landscaped. Our bedroom wasn’t cleaned as well as we expected, there were spider webs in the corners of the ceiling. The bed was much too soft for our liking. Breakfasts were good nut we had fried eggs three days in a row. More variety wouldn’t have hurt.

This is an absolutely beautiful property and the hosts were gracious and lovely. Our room was small, but guests have access to many beautifully furnished rooms in the house along with extensive and beautiful grounds. Breakfast was delicious and served at a large dining room table so guests could visit with one another in the morning. A lovely stay, and very close to the airport.

When we arrived, we were told we booked a room with no ensuite bathroom, yet we had taken a screenshot at the time of booking of the room with a bathroom. We asked to be moved, yet were told they had no vacancies so it was not possible. Meanwhile the other suites remained empty during our stay.

Beautiful property! Recent overnight stay to attend a wedding. Appreciated the early checkin to get dressed. Purchased a bottle of wine for later that evening, very reasonably priced. Enjoyed relaxing in the various sitting rooms while admiring the beautiful antique furniture and artwork. A very welcoming space! Very comfy bed. And a delicious full breakfast the next morning prior to checkout. Would highly recommend!
