The Barrow House was the most comfortable and enjoyable bed and breakfast experience that I have had. It was a wonderful experience. It has the cozy feeling of staying in someone's home, but guests also have complete privacy. The rooms are very large and very clean. The snack and drinks available for guests 24/7 are an especially nice touch. more

This b&b has the strange rule of no keys. The lady told us it was so safe there – no need to lock the rooms…. You can lock it from inside, but not when you leave the room. It might be right that everyone living in this little town are honest, but what about every tourist visiting…? The mattress was... more
