We were disappointed with the breakfast. No one there to ask or get help. Everything self serve. Fresh fruits were in the fridge, but it was not washed. So the last day we had to go out for breakfast. In the room was a broken mug, not visible, so when I made tea the hot water went right out of the hole and made a mess.

Very nice property! An egg for breakfast was missing and the room could have a plug in nightlight. But these are small complaints in comparison to the beauty and quiet rest that we found there!

The property was good, in a busy area of the town. A little hard to notce from the street. Owner and staff at the B&B were great with great service. Our room was very hot. The heat was not controllable in our room. Other rooms may be different. Bed was comfortable. Extra pillows would be nice. Overall, pleasant.

This is one of the loveliest B&B’s I have stayed in. The house itself is adorable, little touches like a carafe of cold water and bubbly drinks in the fridge, and having the charming James keep me company over my morning coffee are all very much appreciated. We will stay there whenever we are in KW.

Beautiful old restored home. Front room was a little noisy - main road in front . Lots of shared space, and bathrooms were all very modern. Lots of HOT water! Owners were so friendly and helpful - breakfast options were plentiful, healthy and varied. Great coffee choices too! . Walking distance to downtown restaurants. Easy access to G2G bike trail.

This is a nice comfortable budget friendly B&B. Very conveniently located to do day trips to lots of quaint places. Fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries and local jams were some of the breakfast offerings and the coffee was fresh and hot each morning. This was a great place to stay.

Everything’s good except the noise of the refrigerators. It’s getting much louder every few minutes which affects sleep quality.
