Barb is a very caring and charasmatic person, who goes the extra mile to make your stay as pleasant as possible. She already had the open fire going when we arrived, exactly what we needed after a cold and rainy day out. "Wow, this is like a hotel breakfast buffet!" my 85 year old mother exclaimed when she opened the door to the dining hall in the morning and found the table all set by Barb before she had to get off to work. There was fresh fruit, croissants (that we warmed in the oven per Barb's written note) and spreads, yoghurt with several types of cereals, and freshly squeezed fruit juice. And each of the rooms had their own kettle with an assortment of coffe, hot chocolate and tea bags and a plate of chocolate pralines made us feel well looked after. Our kids were happy to take care of Barb's dog Moby as they have aways wanted to have a pet. In the morning Barb had left us a note with clear guidance on how to treat Moby and to "check-out" - like the owner her house has a lot of character and an air of warmth.
