It was an old house in very good condition and loaded with many interesting things. There was a nice patio with a bench swing. The bed was very comfortable. We were the only ones booked at that time so we had the whole house to ourselves. Upstairs there are two bedrooms with a shared bath.

An okay place to stay
This was an okay place to stay. The owner/host was extremely nice. However, although advertised as a bed & breakfast with a “full breakfast from 8:30 to 9:30”, there was no breakfast. The owner said she stopped that when Covid started. It seems like some provisions could have been made. Like danishes, yogurt, juice, water, something, in the fridge. Also, there was no air conditioning in our room & the bathroom was extremely small.

Very unique and interesting place. Quite comfortable overall. Fortunately we were the only guests upstairs so we had complete access to bathroom. If other guests had been there it would have been a shared space. That’s the only negative.

This is a quaint old property and the bedroom and bed were clean and comfortable, However, we arrived on a very windy night to an empty house with the door blown wide open and all sorts of leaves and debris blowing in. The rug at the front was blown up and plant pots around the door had blown over and soil was everywhere. We never saw any staff during the whole stay. There were no instructions in the place to get wi-fi password or explain the arrangements for breakfast. A used cleaning cleaning cloth had been left in the shower/bath. The window frame in the bedroom was rotten. After going out to eat we returned to find the door blown open again. We put the deadlock on to keep it shut during the night. In the morning we had to leave without the included breakfast. The owners refused to offer a refund for this.

The owner cancelled day-of on us. Even though she didn’t charge us for this booking and told us where we could get another room, that other room ended up being expensive since it was last minute. Seemed like a nice property and owner, unfortunate that we couldn’t experience it and that the experience was a stressful one for me.

Ok if you want an old home/place to sleep
This is a nice old home for people that adore antiques and such. The shower and bathroom are very tiny. The drive way is also small. There was no television in the bedroom and I could not find toilet paper to replace roll. There was no breakfast offered even though it stated it would be included.

Note: Keep in mind that my review is for our room specifically. It does not represent the condition of the entire property, and another couple staying there in the house were really enjoying their stay. Our room was an addition on the back of the house. The room was large, beds were soft and comfortable, and linens were also really nice. The drawbacks were the lack of air conditioning and unusual, small bathroom. The house was cool and comfortable but we had no air in our particular room since it was an addition. The bathroom was weird because you had to turn sideways to get through between the upright shower and door. Our host, Debbie, was one of the friendliest people anyone you would meet. We talked for a long time and had an enjoyable conversation. It was just a lack of air conditioning and the bathroom for our room in the addition that affects this review.

lovely B & B but no breakfast
We were looking to stay in the town where we were looking at property & there were only 2 B&Bs, no restaurants, so we picked 1. The room was comfortable, but the shutters in our room didn't block all the outside lights. And the cooked breakfast wasn't provided, not was anything there for us, not even continental. Called the owner, to find out, but got no response.
