CanadaFriendly host, nice country setting. Good size bathroom. Nice comfortable room.
United States of AmericaOur breakfast was fantastic, above and beyond. The family was having someone, out of the home, be away with health difficulties, but they did not let that interfere with their day-to-day operations, everything was totally superb. They did everything to make our stay comfortable.

United KingdomLovely accommodations and a peaceful countryside. Our host was very accommodating. Wish we could have stayed longer!
United States of AmericaAn extremely beautiful B&B... our room was spectacular! Caroline and her mom started our days off with a chat and a delicious fresh cooked breakfast. Brian was extremely helpful in sharing knowledge about the area and got us headed out on numerous incredible adventures. We thoroughly enjoyed our greetings from Henry and Pepsi every day (their really sweet dogs). Such a beautiful part of the country with so many possible day trips in any direction.. and truly wonderful owners. Our only regret was that we did not book more nights here. We WILL be back and look forward to a longer stay next time. Thank you Caroline, mom and Brian for such a memorable visit to your part of the world! We returned home with so many incredible memories of our vacation!
