The staff was amazing...gave me great restaurant suggestions and so very friendly. It's a very quaint Country Inn and the smell of croissants being baked made me want to stay longer. Be prepared for stairs....some of the rooms require climbing a flight of stairs and that says more about me than the Inn. Loved it and would definitely go back.

Loved this little Inn
It was a great little inn. The staff was great, very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and cozy. The beds were very comfortable, very happy we had an air conditioner in the room. Also, every day our beds were made and were given clean towels and face cloths. Breakfast was your usual continental style.

Liked: Cleanliness
My single room upstairs in the inn was very nice. The rest of the inn looked very tired and worn, like it had seen better days. I was glad to have the air-conditioning in my room for the two hot days and nights that I stayed there. Perhaps two separate mini-blinds on the window would have helped block the bright sun better rather than the long heavy curtains, especially above the window a/c.

The location was wonderful. The room was well appointed. The property is very charming on the outside but sadly, the main areas on the inside are looking a little tired.

Fantastic location. Property main building and room were charming but old and worn. Some bugs found in room and dirty towels had to be replaced. Breakfast was largely empty within the first hour. Parking was tough to find in the evening so we hard to park on the lawn. Air conditioning was appreciated on the hot night we stayed.

Served its purpose but would not stay for more than one night. We had room 15 which needs an absolute overhaul. Was clean and bed was comfortable but was musty and air conditioner extremely noisy. Lock on our door took 10 minutes to get to work every time we tried to enter

SUCH a cute little B&B! Directly across the road from the Visitor's Centre for the national park, and easy walking distance to many Anne attractions (which are touristy as heck but fun if you embrace the kitsch and camp of it). Every staff member was lovely, and the atmosphere really encouraged guests to chat and be friendly with each other (nice for a solo traveler who might otherwise spend whole days not saying a word to anyone!) A great central spot for hiking in the park and super close to a nice sandy beach if that's your thing. The breakfast options are thoughtfully composed so that you're not stuck eating the same thing every morning. The building is old and in need of some repairs (there was scaffolding up and paint work going on during my stay, but it wasn't disruptive at all), but the staff clearly love the place and work hard to make it cozy despite the age.
