The property is a former church converted into a B&B! Host and staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. A few blocks from the center of town but still walkable. On-site parking was a plus. Slightly on the pricey side. Television and hot water for showers were tempermental

Property was nice. Next time I would pay attention and not book the second floor. Stairs are rough with heavy suitcases.

The breakfast was far beyond what we were expecting; berry frape and Creme brule french toast is a great way to start the day. In the afternoon, they put out some wine, cheese, crackers and nuts. Very convenient location. We walked to town for dinner, etc. Would stay here again.

Breakfast was outstanding and such a refreshing change from a standard hotel continental spread. Having a freshly prepared meal served to us each morning made every day feel special from the start. The owner was friendly, attentive, and truly went above and beyond providing a level of hospitality that exceeded our expectations. It’s clear he genuinely cares about his guests. Highly recommend!
