Holdstrong Farmhouse is a 'vintage' B&B meaning it's furnishings are in the classic style of the 1920s and 1930s with an emphasis on textile crafts. If 'contemporary' is where you like to be, then Holdstrong is probably not for you! However, if you are looking for a respite from a busy world - welcome.
I love vintage English bone china (of which my collection is 'too' large) and am an enthusiastic quilter.
