Cons:
She's a stickler for 4:00 arrival, sent us away at 3:42 pm, and told us to return at 4:00 pm. We had been traveling for 4 hours at that point. So, arrive after 4:00 to be sure.
Bathrooms and showers are small
No hot water upon arrival, then we had no water during the husband's shower the next day
The lovely gardens and rooms made our stay very enjoyable, Chris couldn't do enough for us... read more and made us feel very comfortable, giving us advise on walks and cooking up a fantastic breakfast . I couldn't recommend this place enough .

Probably the best B&B we've stayed in so we will definitely be back, hopefully for longer next time..
For sure, everything was perfect.
