This place is stunning. A beautiful home on beautiful grounds. The town of Enfield, not so much…read more Driving through the town on our way to the house, we were kind of scared. Very run down houses, very desolate town. But, when you pull into the driveway of this house, you totally forget where you are and only focus on the huge house with the inviting front porch and bright, red door.
We have never stayed at a B&B before, so we weren't sure of the protocols, so we just walked on inside and started looking around. The house is old and southern, and that is exactly what I expected. There is a huge sitting room, and a very cozy den/study that has a nice TV, leather couch, huge leather chair, desk, fridge, and thousands of books. The dining room is also cozy, and the kitchen is small but nice, but not really part of the guest experience. The real stunner is when you open the back door and see the huge porch, and gorgeous yard and gardens. A little slice of heaven in tiny Enfield.
Suzann, the owner, was in the kitchen when we arrived, and she came out to greet us with huge smile on her face. She started showing us around, and led us upstairs to our room for the weekend - a very good sized room with a very nice bathroom, and a comfy, soft bed with amazingly soft sheets. The upstairs also has a huge deck so you can enjoy the view of the gardens from there too.
Breakfast both mornings was delightful, and you can really taste the love and care that goes into Suzann and Wayne's cooking. The first day we had yogurt parfait, an egg fritatta, bacon, sausage, and fresh baked biscuits. All were great, but the biscuits were the star....so good!!!! The second day we started out with the yogurt parfait again, then baked apples, bacon, and strawberry lemon pancakes.....heaven! I am not a huge fan of baked apples since I despise cinamon, but these were not overloaded with cinnamon at all, and were not overcooked. This woman can cook!!
Overall, I highly recommend coming here for a weekend getaway if you live within an hours drive. There is a nice State Park near by, and a very cool Waterfowl park, but other than that, not much going on within 50 miles. But, to get away and relax in a beautiful home with wonderful service, and being forced to really take everything slow and just enjoy nature and your partner is a blessing.
I cannot conclude this review without mentioning Cozy. Cozy happens to be the word's sweetest golden retriever alive, and he will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside the whole weekend. He is so well behaved and loving, and I am pretty sure he knows his job is to give love to all guests so they feel right at home. Love that dog!
