Charming and cozy, our room was very clean and included many thoughtful touches. Fresh cut flowers, homemade jelly (in addition to the provided fresh eggs, bread and coffee), books and movies all help to make you feel right at home. The loft offered a nice private sleeping and relaxation area for our daughter, and the windows provided a continuous gentle breeze throughout the room.
Karin was a very hospitable hostess with great knowledge and candid recommendations about points of interest and dining out. The grounds provided a relaxing atmosphere, and would highly recommend the short hike from her gardens to the beaches for a more private and secluded experience.
There are several artisans and galleries worth checking out in the vicinity, including Karin’s own pottery shop, and some great restaurants in nearby Alma, about 20 min away. Waterside beach was beautiful, as an option for those not wanting to hike. Hopewell Rocks was spectacular, but you are sharing the attraction with hundreds and hundreds of people... ideally low tide coincides with the opening of the park at 8:00am, the day of your visit, so that you can plan to arrive early and depart before the crowds become overwhelming.
Overall we had a wonderful time exploring the area, and staying with Karin was a very positive experience that we would highly recommend.
