Enjoyed our stay at Tweedledum. The proprietor, Simon, was very responsive. He brought us robes, soap and bubble bath for the jacuzzi tub and fixed our WiFi. Simon was also knowledgeable about local sites and tours. This B&B is well priced. We would definitely stay here again.

The spot was beautiful. We stayed in one ofthe cottages since we brought our two young children. Perfect location, up the street from State Street which was exactly what we needed so we could just walk everywhere. Complimentary breakfast was amazing--it was so nice to have breakfast brought to our little cottage each morning. The owners were on site and very sweet. All in all it was the perfect stay--not a single issue while we were there. We will be back!

A nice BnB
A nice BnB! Lovely little garden. The people's are very nice! Room was nice but needs a little bit of an update and some new/cushions. I was also a little disappointed with my breakfast main course it was very heavy. Good location and safe.

Everything about the inn was perfect. The warm cookies in the afternoon were especially tasty. The only recommendation we can offer is to upgrade the morning coffee. We can’t wait to come back.
