Very cozy, welcoming property. James is lovely and a very accommodating host. Very responsive. And the enclosed patio, surrounded by greenery, is a real plus. Beds are very comfortable. We were three women. But the set-up is also good for families.

Very nice place. Clean and quiet. We only stayed 1 night but it was the perfect stop! They even had coffee stocked which made our morning departure very stress free. Thank you for a great stay!
