’The Guest House was an exceptional find. It is owner-managed, which is evidenced by attention to detail in the residence itself, by the gracious way in which guests are made to feel welcome and engaged, and by the tasty and healthy breakfast, which includes delicious smoked salmon!’‘The accommodations were clean, bright and fresh and the rooms were decorated with beautiful antiques and art – and having no TV or radio was an added bonus, ensuring a quiet, restful environment.‘

We serve a delicious continental-plus breakfast which includes an extraordinary fresh fruit salad; rich honey yogurt, an assortment of hot and cold cereals; artisanal breads for toasting; delicious coffee cakes from our private baker, hard-boiled eggs and delicious smoked salmon (NEW!) for morning protein, juice, tea – and GREAT coffee.
