Homely, welcoming hidden gem

Carrie and Howie were incredibly kind and hospitable hosts from the moment we arrived. Particular highlights were the very comfortable bed, delicious breakfast and to be able to barbecue and eat in the garden. We left feeling very relaxed and restored. Would highly recommend this as a lovely place to recharge your batteries.

Outstanding stay ast this wonderful BnB. We were greeted the moment we arrived with friendliness and felt like we were home immediately. Our room had everything you could possibly need including fridge, microwave, utensils etc and several charging stations. The bed was very comfortable with great bedding and the bathroom was clean, safe and had nice thick towels. Our breakfast was a complete surprise and certainly got our day of travel off to the right start. The owner went so far as to personalize our breakfast which was more than appreciated. We would definitely recommend a stay here and after only one night, we wished we had more time to spend with these thoughtful hosts. We can't thank them enough!
