Wonderful stay, we felt welcome as soon as we arrived - great hosts! Very dog friendly!
Room was spacious and comfortable, so lovely to have a bath after a long day.
Breakfast as excellent, our daughter loved picking what she wanted and said it was her favourite place we stayed all holiday!
Wonderful stay with fabulous hosts! We don't normally stay and B&Bs but after this visit we will do so more in the future. GREAT room with king bed, huge bathroom with tons of natural light, all very clean. Breakfast defies words - so yummy. Best of all - two black labs!!
