The Holbrook house is an exceptional B&B! The building is like something out of a Hallmark movie and the owners are wonderful. The breakfast was outstanding also. We are already talking about going back and staying there next year.

My husband and I had a wonderful four night stay here. The breakfast was gourmet and so much thought was put into every detail. Our room had a great shower, fantastic bed/sheets/pillows, and blocked light well. Despite being next to check-in it was very quiet. The staff was so friendly, gardens were beautiful, and location was close to everything we needed.
