Access to the B&B was convenient with a private parking lot behind the house. Check-in was easy and quick. The room was decorated to reflect the period of the house. The bed was comfortable, chairs were provided, and there was, good lighting, coffee and a hot pot. The bathroom was clean with a large shower and lots of towels and wash cloths. The shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water but the shower head is in need of replacement. The surrounding grounds were nicely landscaped and maintained. The owners were friendly and helpful. We were served a delicious hot breakfast that we were able to choose from a list of five or so options. We could walk the downtown streets to restaurants, pubs, shopping, coffee, ice cream, bakery, grocery and pharmacy within 3-5 minutes. I would recommend this B&B and I would absolutely stay here again.

My wife and I had the best experience here. We have been to several B and AB’s over the years and Ivyleigh is the very best we have ever stayed at. The hospitality was only exceeded by the fantastic breakfast. Could not have been more friendly.
