Comfortable and caring.

Delightful self contained downstairs apartment. Nice personal touch in peaceful rural location. Only stayed the one night as we were a bit pressed for time but was definitely tempted to find an excuse to stay another. 💯💞

We absolutely loved everything about this lovely farmhouse. Ann and Miles were truly warm and wonderful hosts. The breakfast was fabulous. Ann provided us with lots of helpful information about the area. Wished we had been able to stay longer! Would highly recommend it!
