“In my opinion, this is a standout B&B that offers exceptional value; the top-floor rooms have desirable views, and the staff makes an effort to ensure a smooth arrival. I especially appreciate the thoughtful touches, such as well-stocked tea trays and fresh, plentiful breakfasts. For the price, I'd say it easily outperforms some of the larger hotels in the area.”
