To put it simply, this place is a great house, but has no real business being a B&B. Our review is based on the many B&Bs we've stayed at.
This place is highly overpriced (we paid $160 + $24 tax for one night). The reasons: It offers no real privacy because the walls are paper thin, the rooms are very small, our room was not heated (November stay) and the breakfast was something we whip up at home on the fly (scrambled eggs, fruit medley, a quarter of a chicken sausage and chocolate chip zucchini bread, which was actually really good). Also, we experienced the additional problem of using the whirlpool tub (advertised as "for two" but truly not the case) which steamed up the entire room (because of the chill in the air) which resulted in everything — including the sheets — feeling wet. So... we had to open the window. Feeling cold and wet led to a horrible night's
sleep for both of us.
Additionally, the power went out sometime before midnight and never came back on, so in the morning we had no running water (which meant no coffee).
On the plus side: The owner is very nice (though I think she could have taken off a little more than $20 for the lack of shower/coffee/toilet flushing in the monring) and we did spend quite a bit of time talking with her in the morning.
Final assessment: We will never stay here again (nor can we
recommend it) because we walked away feeling that we'd spent a small fortune and got very little for that money.
