Location and ease of parking was excellent. The room was beautiful, clean and well stocked. Breakfast was outstanding but amongst all our wonderful experiences here was our host Cheri. She was very welcoming, personable and just a lovely person.

Linda Canada

The room was clean and bright and the view breathtaking from our room and the bed so comfortable. It was quiet and had everything we needed. The perfect location to walk into town for restaurants. Great breakfasts and the attention to detail was wonderful.

We loved the house. It is beautiful, impeccable in every aspect and you can see clearly that everything is carefully thought of. Breakfast was delicious! Great location too, really close to Water Street, but not on it.
