Catherine's food and Stuart's effortless and professional maitre'd skills combined to make an excellent Valentine weekend in the comfort of the LakeView and the only reservations that we have are that once this place gets too well known we may never get in for another booking!! more

This B & B would put many a 4 star hotel to shame. The welcome was warm and friendly yet unobtrusive.
