Exceeds Expectations

9.0

The breakfast was fabulous, way beyond expectations. Room was very comfortable and nicely furnished. Our host was friendly and helpful, but not intrusive.

− Location is a bit remote, with limited dining options nearby. A minor problem at best

The view from every room! Happy hour on the deck and breakfast were exceptional. The hostess/owner was the best part of our stay. What a lovely, friendly and informative person. She also left us little treats and a hand lotion during our stay.
