Before I had even arrived at the Victorian Bed & Breakfast, I knew that it was going to be wonderful. The owner and I had been playing phone-tag regarding my time of arrival and breakfast accommodations, and her voicemails alone revealed her to be a delight.
She greeted us with the utmost hospitality, and entering the house was like stepping into another era. Beautiful china, paintings, and antique furniture decorated the spacious rooms, with ceilings reaching high into the sky. Our room was equally charming, with fresh roses (from the bushes out front) in a vase, and the softest, fluffiest pillows I've ever laid my head on.
My boyfriend and I were visiting the city, and only had a few moments to check-in and deposit our baggage before we took the ferry over. However, in the morning, we had the chance to better acquaint ourselves with the house and with its lovely owner. Not only did she prepare a beautiful table for us, with delicate china and antique glass dishes, but she also accommodated our food preferences. We are both vegan, and she went out of her way to provide a delicious, nourishing vegan breakfast for us!
We had the pleasure of chatting with her over breakfast, after which she gave us a tour of her backyard garden and showcased her beautiful plants & flowers. I wish we could have stayed longer!
