"We couldn’t have asked for better accommodations"

10.0

While only one night the accommodations were superior. Location was quiet and the B&B had relaxing areas to enjoy. The Tree Bedroom was a treat. An excellent breakfast in the garden capped off the stay.

"Key West is always fun for a few days."

5.0

The outdoors natural beauty

The property was once beautiful, well maintained and happily welcoming by the owners/innkeepers. Since it was sold to a corporation, it is now run like one. What they call happy hour consists of cheap wine, 4 slices of cheap cheese, 4 slices of salami and cheap crackers from a dish. A few grapes as well. Truly an embarrassment! The breakfast offered, the same. This is no longer the upscale B&B we are used to visiting. It’s a real loss!

"Enjoyed rather very pleasant and attractive room and surroundings"

10.0

Beautiful common areas with attractive art, gracious outdoor areas, attractive rooms. Staff friendly and helpful.

Most accommodations that provide breakfast start at 7 am or earlier. Breakfast starts here at 8:30. It’s too late. Guests may have to get on the road or start activities.

"Disappointing having read other reviews"

5.0

Staff were friendly and helpful. Outside space seemed nice but weather prevented us enjoying it, Good location. Building had some nice character.

Small room and a small double bed. Wardrobe in bathroom and clothes got damp in there. Room was cold (the weather was unusually cold). No spare blanket in room - apparently there was a small fan heater but we didn't see it and aircon unit didn't warm room. Breakfast had one warm option - take it or leave it - and continental option was limited. It was cold in the house and we didn't expect to have to have breakfast indoors wearing outdoor jackets
