So much beautiful energy to absorb at this BnB....Joe was such a wonderful and kind man who offered services during our stay...his dog Lulu had so much love to share : ) The main reason for our choosing this BnB was the closeness to the ferries and airport....and once we arrived, we then were more excited when we seen the room, as well as to find that there was an awesome restaurant, pretty much right next door!....for me, it felt nice not to have to travel into town for supper : ) I can't say enough about this place....and my Mom just loved it as well as I ..... Next time I will come back for no reason other than to spend more time to enjoy all the amenities this beautiful place has to offer....and to go back to the Stonehouse restaurant that Joe told us about!! Thanks again Joe and Lulu, Val and Helen : ) ##### Valerie Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Place was well kept and the host Joe was very friendly and helpful.
