We stayed at this wonderful B&B the night before catching the ferry to Port aux Basque and again on our return....it was perfectly located, minutes from the terminal. Our room was beautifully decorated in period furnishings, the bed felt luxurious and it was very quiet despite being located on the lower floor with two guest rooms above. Our bathroom functioned perfectly and the linens, towels and sheets were beyond hotel quality. Our host, Cheryl offered us red and white wine which we enjoyed while sitting in the beautifully appointed living area and on our second visit we sipped on wine again while sitting on the large verandah overlooking the incredible vast garden.

We appreciated her asking about our food preferences for breakfast and leaving out wine and nuts for later in the evening. She was welcoming and friendly and completely opened her home to us. It was the best B&B we've ever been to. HIGHLY...
