    The host of the property was very kind. He gave me a tour of the entire facility. We only stayed overnight so we didn't use the many other benefits of this B&B. But it provided what we needed.

    I really appreciated that Mary went the extra mile for those needing dietary alternatives to the norm with an amazing range of herbal and fruit teas and a wheat free cereal option was happily provided for me on request
