First-time stay at a B&B - did not disappoint

Check-in was a little tricky, as check in hours were like 4p to 7p and I was there around 4:40p. The door was locked, and I rang the bell a number of times and called to leave a voice message. As I started to walk around the property, the owner met me and ushered me in. George is very personable and has created a nice B&B environment. Parking is in the back from the main road and the area appeared safe. The bedroom was small and had a micro-fridge and small microwave, both older but adequate. Breakfast was basic, oatmeal and pancakes, coffee. I think George would have provided eggs and toast if asked. There was no menu, it was offered as is. Although this was my first stay at a B&B, it met expectations nicely. Breakfast with 3 other strangers, all of us sharing stories around the table for about 90-minutes. The atmosphere was conducive to this very thing. I've never experienced that at any hotel/motel I have stayed with.

This was one of my best guest experiences ever. Many thanks to innkeeper George and his family for running such a great place, B&B's attract dignified and respectulful guests.We don't slam doors and there are no kids running the halls at all hours. You literally stay in a home, not a dorm. I shall definitely return.

Perfect stay

Found this gem on hotels.com for a weekend trip for wedding we were attending. George the owner is very friendly and accommodating. We arrived past check in time but he remained available and greeted us - offering us anything we needed. Exhausted after an 8hr drive, the hospitality, extremely clean and quiet atmosphere allowed is to sleep like babies. Unfortunately we were spent both days so we didn’t get up in time to experience the breakfast but waking up every morning to bacon and eggs wafting through up through our room felt like home. I’m grateful for the option to pick a room with a private bathroom for a small upgrade. There’s even onsite parking. I would absolutely stay here again & recommend to anyone!

Room was very clean. nice bed linens plus coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge. Bring eye mask to sleep here as there are no black out shades. Windows had lace fabric to cover the 3 windows in room. Quiet room, just issue with ambient street light. Breakfast was granola/yogurt plus 2 3-inch pancakes and 2 breakfast sausage links.
