Beautifully done and I imagine it's wonderful inside, too. <br /><br />It's nice to sleep in on a vacation, but if that's the priority maybe a B & B isn't a perfect choice.

Sues comment is interesting and I know there are people who wouldn't want a "business" as a neighbor, but not many of those "businesses" look like this and I'm sure their "customers" don't behave like the usual ones!
