Guest Reviews

We had a lovely stay in the Trillium suite for an anniversary weekend! As a younger couple this was our first stay in a B&B and we were not disappointed.

We stayed here for our anniversary weekend getaway. Great location, very charming. Decorated beautifully and so many lovely touches including 24/7 tea/coffee.

The accommodations, customer service and location were all top notch.
