Prospective guests are asked to keep in mind that this home is nearly 250 years old and so it has its quirks and nuances. There are a couple of very low doorways and so those over 6 feet need to be cautious and aware of those. Likewise, the bedrooms on the 3rd floor have sloped ceilings and so be mindful when standing up in the gables. Lastly, we maintain a monthly comprehensive professional pest service, but on rare occasions you may encounter a bug or even a mouse (particularly in the Winter as they escape the cold). We have had zero negative experiences and/or reviews in more than four years of hosting, but want to be entirely truthful and transparent to our visitors who may be sensitive to such things.
