This endearing Federation-era (1881) B&B is presented with absolute attention to detail. Two bright, colourful rooms overlook garden blooms, and the owners intoxicate guests with after-dinner liqueurs (best consumed in the hot tub; dinners by arrangement). Beaut views of potato fields, cows and horses. Two attic rooms and a pool are on the drawing board.
