Liked: Cleanliness
This bed and breakfast was charming and comfortable. The great & filling breakfast was served on a sunny enclosed porch. The problem we had was that right outside our window was a bright light for entry into the building that was like daylight all night long. After telling the staff about the problem, they changed the thin see through curtains to room darkening ones, which helped a little. What is actually needed are blackout curtains and blinds or shades. Do not book Room #3.
