Valerie and Steve were fantastic hosts.
They both did so much to make our stay exceptionally pleasant. We rented the annexe - the smaller of two options. We appreciated the early checkin; their willingness to bring in an extra cot; the tour Valerie gave us of their larger Airbnb rental at the front of the property, as well as showing us their gardens and grounds - and explaining the evolution of all their many projects; the provision of fresh baked apple cake for consumption upon arrival - a very nice and thoughtful greeting touch; Valerie's loan of two "grand house" books in preparation for a ride through the countryside; Steve's saying "yes" to us riding along on his rural mail route; and Valerie and Steve holding our luggage after the mail circuit tour. We were departing several hours after checkout time.
We are grateful to Valerie and Steve. The annex unit was superb accommodation - perfect for Louise and me, two inveterate "budget travelers". It was small and compact but was attractive - and budget friendly - for two retired women traveling independently and using public tramsportation.
Everyone in Ross was very friendly; it is a small village with tons of history. Valerie and Steve are great ambassadors for their town. If you have any questions whatsoever, contact Valerie before booking. She is very responsive.
