I heart B&B's. If we have a choice, we would ALWAYS stay in one, and especially if that one has it's own private cottage (see my review of the Hale Lani on the lovely Island of Kauai)
The White Rose is an exceptionally elegant place to stay. It is only the cottage that is available for guests and the price is quite reasonable.
Pat, the owner, has thought of everything practical and tied it all together in elegance.
The cottage sleeps 2 - 6 people and is really a super large room with a loft but part of the great room is sectioned off by an armoir and curtain with a queen size bed enclosed. The floor to ceiling curtains give a bit of wimsy to the room that is tastefully decorated.
Fisher speakers are part and parcel to the entertainment system. (I wasn't able to try them out but the next time we definately will) The leather couch and loveseat were perfect for sitting around and talking until 1am. The dining room table was roomy enough for dinner and glasses of wine.
The galley style kitchen was well stocked with paper towels, sandwich bags, cutlery, pans, mugs, wine glasses, bowls, decent steak knives and coffee condiments among so many other things.
The palate for the kitchen is a gorgeous red, black wrought iron and stainless steel.
The bathroom was roomy and had so many towels! I love that! There was bar soap, and a simple shampoo. Also decorated quite nicely. The skylight brightened the room during the day and allowed for bug-free star gazing at night.
The Loft had a king size bed that was uber comfortable, an excess of blankies, a lovely mirror and a table with chairs along with a wing back sitting chair.
Lots of rubber coated hangers and an iron and ironing board were in the space as well. Another star-gazing skylight available.
Did I mention there was a washer and dryer along with a hand-wash airdryiing set up?
Fridge stocked with bottled water too and coffee in the freezer.
Lovely and well-kept gardens and a breakfast to die for!
Pat is quite accommodating and super nice. Tell her Joanne, Atom and Ron sent you! read more
