The house is lovely. Brian was an excellent and attentive host. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was recently remodeled. There were snacks and wine, tea, and water available in the evening. Because the room I was in did not have an en suite bathroom (although the bathroom was private), bathrobes were provided. I understand that most rooms in the house have en suite bathrooms. Limited parallel parking was available on the street at night; daytime parking was limited to 2 hours from 9 am to 5 pm.

Comfortable room, great food and service
Eric greeted us warmly and showed us around. When I booked, I mentioned that we had an earlier meeting than the breakfast hours so would miss the meal. Eric took note and had very thoughtfully packed us FULL breakfasts to take along with us in the morning! That was above and beyond what was expected.
We stepped out for dinner to a restaurant which he had recommended. When we got back there was homemade biscotti - some of the best I've ever had.
The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the area was quiet. Overall, we had an exceptional stay, and if I ever need a room in the area again, I would book at Cornerstone B&B
