The cleanest place I have ever stayed in The host is amazing , thoughtful and generous and makes a lovely breakfast. The setting is peaceful and the most beautiful view of a little forest when you lounge on the veranda. I will recommend Apple And Spice to everyone.

The stay was very nice. The room was comfortable and the facilities adequate. The breakfast was good with the expected options. Only 2 things come to mind.. finding the doorbell to access on arrival, bathroom without a door for privacy when sharing a room is not ideal. Overall a nice visit.

Our stay here was perfect. The new owner, Jake, has done a great job updating the B&B and was very friendly and thoughtful. We felt very at ease and highly recommend for someone needing a bit of a getaway! Peaceful, welcoming, and the breakfast was great!
