What a delightful property! And what wonderful hosts! The location in historic Shelburne was amazing - a beautiful quite spot with a view of the ocean, and everything was very clean and comfortable, What really struck us was all of the thoughtful touches in the accommodation - fresh coffee and tea, condiments, toiletries, bottled and filtered water in the fridge etc. That we got to meet their beautiful pets was an added bonus. Highly recommended!
