The beds are comfortable and the house is very spacious - especially the front room. We were there on a bitterly cold winter's weekend and the fire in the front room was no match for the cold, so we adjourned to the kitchen/dining room where the pot belly stove kept us warm. I would like to return in warmer weather to enjoy the front room - the original post office retail space as it has such charm and comfort. The split system in the hallway also helped with the heating and the electrical blankets very welcome. Denise was a great host - providing information we needed but left us to enjoy the property. The homemade jam was delicious! ##### Fiona D.
