"Upon arrival front desk was pretty welcoming, some other guests were complaining that they weren't roomed next to each other - yelling match actually. Breakfast was pretty good. Dated location appears to be under new ownership. Struggling a bit with maintenance - as toilet was covered in condensation aand leaking over the floor because of it. I don't think bathroom ventilation was working. Bed pretty comfortable and only spent 1 night on our road trip."

"We loved our stay! The home is an absolute dream! Cheryl is an incredible host & so open to chat about the history of the property & we were welcomed with complementary wine. The home feels like you are walking into Downtown Abby & the pictures do not do it justice! The delicious breakfast is all homemade (jam, honey, maple syrup, croissants, spiced bacon egg cups, pancakes with fresh fruit, homade yogurt parfait) all fresh from the garden on beautiful china. I love the preserved astehetic of the home & it's wonderful for unique pictures inside or outside in the garden. Cheryl thinks of every detail & you can tell a lot of love goes into this B&B. My husband said it was a 10 star stay:)"
