Beautifully presented and spacious! very comfortable bed. Had all the amenities you would need.

The hosts were very friendly and attentive, as we needed to call them to assist with an issue with the lock. Other than that it was a beautiful quiet area.

    Darlene was a lovely host. Sharing her home and living on the premises she went out of her way to ensure that every detail of our stay was exceptional, including turning down our beds and providing a cooked breakfast. If you enjoy a chat and visit with your host, browsing the beautiful garden, you’ll love this B&B.
