    It was in a beautiful quiet idyllic setting with amazing views from balcony of Russell Bay, short walk to the lovely town and bay. Very comfortable with all amenities and fresh fruit and breakfast provided. Sue is a wonderful host who is very involved in the community and has vast information about the area. We loved it.

    The hosts are a charming and personal couple. We had a bit of luck, got an upgrade, and had ample space for the three of us. The rooms are tidy and well-equipped. Lots of onsite parking, a nice pool and pool area, and quiet surroundings. We came back a day later to stay for another two nights.

    Lovely upstairs suite, with a large deck facing north and west. On the waterfront, right in the heart of Russell, yet quiet and peaceful at the same time. The host, Karen was terrific: friendly, but never intrusive. We got fresh fruit, yogurt etc provided for the continental breakfast, along with cereals, toast, juice and delicious homemade preserves. :-)
