I stayed two nights at this fully updated Victorian home in a very large and well-appointed room with designer highlights and ‘heaps’ of personal touches. The king size bed with fresh, royal linen was a treat after so many nights of well used, 'cozy' bed arrangements. Helena (proprietor) and Duncan certainly know how to spoil their guests. I thoroughly enjoyed... More

We felt right at home with Helena, Duncan and their enthusiastic dog. Our late arrival was not a problem at all and Helena's breakfast was great. We chatted about life stories and politics. The room was fine, with toilet and bathroom just a bit down the hall. Loved the house, just like they did when they first saw it!

We were welcomed into this beaufiful house by a beautiful dog & Duncan, who made us feel at home immediately. He (Duncan - not the dog) also made a tray of tea and biscuits, which was just what we needed after a very long drive, and provided information on a great place to eat in town (The Denniston Dog).

The room, the bedding, the breakfast cooked to order - everything should impress you! The house itself should... More

B&B was full of charm reflecting the hosts - lovely garden, walls are full of the host's art to admire, stacks of interesting books and dog with a character to... More

Nice clean room and Bathroom and an excellent breakfast. Above all, it was the interesting conversations that we had with Duncan and Helena that made this a memorable... More

Had a very pleasant two night stay. Helena and Duncan were lovely hosts - very attentive and hospitable. Helena makes a nice cooked breakfast. They do have a friendly dog which may be a consideration for some guests.
