Entering the house, you’re welcomed into a warm living room accentuated by the glow of a fireplace. The adjoining dining room invites you with a cozy pellet stove, perfect for those cooler evenings.

French doors open onto a private terrace, while the second B&B, housed in a delightful outbuilding, boasts its own luxurious touches, including another sublime en-suite bathroom and a kitchenette, as well as a gym area.
