Beautiful property on a quiet lane. Big comfortable bed in a compact but tidy room. Many options for relaxed seating in common areas. The hosts were welcoming and hospitable, recommending a delicious restaurant around the corner ( Bitars). When our room was a little warm, the host quickly provided a fan for our comfort. Easy access to the airport for our morning flight home. For light sleepers, note that there is an active train track nearby with occasional trains during the night.

Amazing home and grounds. A feast for the eyes when we first arrived. Absolutely beautiful heritage home. Room was stunning. Unfortunately, we only stayed one night as it was our last stop before heading home. Excellent proximity to airport. Really wish we had more time to enjoy this lovely property! We had to leave before breakfast so cannot comment on that.

Be prepared to leave heavy luggage in car. Breakfast was just ok. B&b was beautiful and grounds are exceptional. If you like the b&b experience, this is a great place. Plenty of parking. A little off the road and hidden. We enjoyed our stay.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The public areas of the building are wonderful, very inviting and comfortable. The grounds are extensive and well landscaped. Our bedroom wasn’t cleaned as well as we expected, there were spider webs in the corners of the ceiling. The bed was much too soft for our liking. Breakfasts were good nut we had fried eggs three days in a row. More variety wouldn’t have hurt.

This is an absolutely beautiful property and the hosts were gracious and lovely. Our room was small, but guests have access to many beautifully furnished rooms in the house along with extensive and beautiful grounds. Breakfast was delicious and served at a large dining room table so guests could visit with one another in the morning. A lovely stay, and very close to the airport.
