So quaint and delightful!
My mom and I stayed here as part of our road trip through New England and it was absolutely delightful! The room was so cute, and the breakfast was nice. The grounds are pretty and there is a nice area to relax on the porch. They had a library too. Everything was just so nice. I wish we stayed longer than 1 night. Highly recommend!

Maybe I just don't know how Bed and Breakfasts truly work, since this was my first stay at one. But when we arrived, no one was there, our room key was left on the check-in desk with a note that told us breakfast time and wi-fi code. There was a number to call if we needed something and it said they were just running errands, but we never saw anyone until breakfast the next morning. It turned out every restaurant in town was closed on Mondays, we had to go miles back to the last town, it really would have been nice to have a staff person to ask for recommendations. I thought part of the charm of a B&B is supoosed to be personalized service, but I got more welcome from my $100 a night motel the night before!
