Nice location close to downtown with close access to highway. Really great suite with kitchenette and small living area. Well designed functional space. Private entrance. Comfortable beds. Spotlessly clean. No breakfast provided but kitchenette well-stocked with utensils etc allows you to prep your own easily. Communication with owners before and during stay was great, clear instructions.

The place is simply stunning and the garden tops everything we had seen at B&B's before.

The staff were wonderful! Very helpful and cheerful. Our room was on the 2nd floor and we had luggage to carry up the stairs. We're seniors. Before I knew it, the lady from the check-in took the heaviest and biggest suitcase and brought it up the stairs for us. The rest was manageable. She also took the time to show me and make sure I understood how to lock and unlock the doors and was gracious about showing me again. We had no complaints about the room or the beds. I searched and reviewed a lot before I found this little gem of a place and the time was worth it. The price was very reasonable compared to other places. We also felt very safe!

Absolutely excellent stay at the what a view farm. It was exactly what myself and my boyfriend wanted and needed in a getaway for the weekend. A beautifully made up tent with all the necessities so you only need to bring yourself. Pots and pans to make food, A small stove, a fire pit and even a sink to wash up!! The family that own the farm were so lovely and friendly and made sure we were looked after the whole time. They have really thought of everything that you may need over the course of your stay. There are only 4 other tents I think on the farm too so it’s not noisy at all you feel really secluded and can really check out :) shops and a pub close by too and only about a 25 minute drive from the ferry! Will be recommending this place to all my friends :)
