We were welcomed by John's partner, Rowan, and were shown into our respective rooms. Our son and his wife took the contained unit, which consisted of a bedroom, kitchenette and on suite bathroom.

We had the Lucie Liu bedroom, with a shared bathroom. The bedrooms were very well appointed, and were filled with interesting art works. They felt rather luxurious, and were exceedingly clean, as was the bathroom.

We had the use of the front garden, with two spots in which to sit, a fact of which we made good use when we all breakfasted outside in the garden on our second morning.

There was much that was of interest to the curious mind, many lovely books and artworks to peruse, should one feel so inclined.

We were all a bit tired when we arrived, and everyone had a long afternoon snooze,lulled by the rhythm of the overhead fan.

John and Rowan were marvelously helpful, John generously showed everyone around his studio, and Rowan did all our laundry, which was absolutely appreciated given our next long slog homewards.

I would not hesitate to recommend this B & B; interesting, quiet, near to restaurants, and extremely well operated by our hosts John and Rowan .
