What a lovely experience. This charming historic house is furnished with a collection of antiques, local pottery and collectibles, and is located in a quiet rural area with a pretty garden and an untamed river bank. There is an owl sanctuary next door and you can hear the birds at night, and even see them if you're careful and quiet.

Read moreThis is a perfect place to stay if you're revitalized by nature. Accessibility to the outdoors is abundant. Owl calls are a constant nighttime soundtrack. Carla, Bonnybank's proprietor, is an accomplished accessible nature tours operator. We participated in a morning birding hike with a local birding expert. The availability of such activities was a delightful dynamic, available only at unique operations such as Bonnybank. Carla's knowledge of the region's natural history and local flora and fauna is impressive and is shared with a singular calm and gentle style. We stayed two nights. Breakfast each morning was great.
