We had such a wonderful time at Shulamit Yard. It's a very special place - not your typical B&B. It has a peaceful and homey atmosphere surrounded by nature, with the pampering details of a luxury hotel. One of the things that make this place so unique and special is Shulamit and her family - they are so friendly and welcoming, they truly make you feel at home and give this place that extra "something".
When we first arrived, Shulamit was just finishing preparing home-baked goods (like cakes, cookies, brownies, etc.) and the place smelled amazing and instantly made us feel excited to be there. She showed us to our rooms, which were absolutely lovely - impeccably clean, large but cozy, designed with unique furniture (both modern and vintage), and with a huge balcony overlooking a beautiful garden. We absolutely loved our room.
Then, there's the breakfast - WOW. Hands-down one of the best breakfasts we've ever had. One of the nice touches of the breakfast is the hand-made elements, like the fresh jam she makes and the homemade pastries and bread, and the blintzes and pancakes... everything was so delicious! It was really nice that we could go into the main area and munch on her amazing pastries and drink tea and coffee anytime we want. The main area also includes books in several languages, a piano, and many comfortable couches. There's also a pool if you want to dip in, but we didnt. Shulamit was also incredibly helpful in advising us on activities to do in the area - complete with giving us a map and brochures - thanks to her, we had an incredible time sightseeing in the area. Her patience is endless!
The one thing to keep in mind is that this place is designed to help you unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet. There are no TVs and there's no gym - it's not that kind of hotel. We loved having the break from the TV but just be aware of that in case that's not what you're looking for. And we had trouble connecting to their wifi, but it didn't matter bc we have local cell phone plans. Also - this is not an adult-only accommodation (there can be young children).
But if you're looking for a beautiful and unique B&B to truly unwind and be pampered, this is definitely the place!! I would go back in a heartbeat.
