The owner was very nice and accommodating. Our room was decorated beautifully and very clean. We loved using the bikes provided to us to ride the trail behind the B&B and it was only a 2.5 mile ride to a beach. Everything was close including transportation to the ferry over to Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod winery, and other restaurants and shops. Very beautiful bed and breakfast and we will definitely return!!
