Review of The Bed and Breakfast at Oliver Phelps 4*

The kind of extraordinary value you can never get from an AirBNB stay! We've stayed at 'the OP' (as we affectionately call it) during our summer vacation for several years running because of the incredible value we receive during our stay. There's the beautiful, historic house that's warm and inviting, with lots of airy spaces to relax in. There's the remarkable breakfasts: nothing heavy and greasy here, but rather three courses of ingeniously delicious, healthy yet filling portions sourced from fresh local ingredients and beautifully prepared and presented by our hosts. Clean, clean, comfortable, well-appointed, quiet, and did we mention clean rooms, each with their own lovely character. But the truly great value of staying at the OP is the service provided by our hosts Lynne & Bill. Sure, we read tour books and search websites, but there's nothing like having keenly observant, reliable and trustworthy advisers on the ground to help you maximize the enjoyment of stay, be it one evening or an entire week. From activities like trail or road cycling, hiking, lake water-sports, to choosing just the right local restaurant to fit your mood, palate and budget, to finding great rainy-day museums, historic homes and winery tours, they've really got their finger on the pulse of this beautiful region, and their suggestions and guidance have always, without fail, been spot-on. With our limited time and modest budget, they really help us make the most of each day and maximize our enjoyment during out stay with them. You just don't get that kind of value from an AirBNB arrangement or a motel.
