10/10 Exceptional! (2 reviews)
We had such a wonderful stay at this exquisitely done bed and breakfast run by Beth and her adorable little sidekick Georgia Bean. Beth was an amazing host and wonderful to talk with. There was no detail unthought of, champagne upon arrival, charcuterie and wine from 4-6 and then an amazing breakfast all included. We were her 10th guests after opening and can’t wait to return, our only regret was we didn’t have enough time to enjoy the inn and property. She also has an adorable store with great gifts , a beautiful pool, back yard, deck patio, and exercise room. 10/10 we highly recommend staying at the Burrell and Flynn’s Farm….. not to forget the most amazing chocolate sea salt brownie we had in our “thank you for choosing us” goodie bag as a departing gift.
