Very good location, very nice host and great garden and the deck. Rooms are separate small buildings in the beautifully landscaped back yard. I enjoyed my stay, but you should not expect the regular hotel room and must enjoy quirky and interesting.

We loved the fact that this is an honest to goodness Bed and Breakfast in the traditional meaning of the words. You are getting a room in the host’s home, you live with the family, share the common areas and even meet and live with other guests. ...
