9.2/10 Wonderful! (116 reviews)

My stay at Diane’s bed and breakfast was absolutely wonderful. Diane herself is incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely informative — she made the entire experience feel personal and cared for. The room was quaint, cozy, and charming in that classic New England way, with comfortable beds, plenty of towels, and a generous selection of bath amenities that made settling in effortless. Breakfast was a standout: a truly amazing cook‑to‑order meal that felt both homemade and high‑end. Every dish was fresh, delicious, and clearly prepared with pride. Parking was plentiful and convenient, making arrival and departure stress‑free. Overall, this B&B is a gem — comfortable, inviting, and thoughtfully run. I’d happily return and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing stay.
