“This B&B strikes me as a particularly good choice for families; I noticed how many spoke of feeling genuinely welcomed, even with young children or special needs. I see a dedication to comfort, from the well-stocked rooms to the especially soft towels, and the location provides a sweet spot between attractions and quiet. It's a place where the host seems to make all the difference.”
