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.

Disliked: Staff & service
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.
