My wife and I stayed there for three nights last July. Helen, the owner is a very nice person and she made us delicious breakfasts, a different one every morninig.

We enjoyed our stay at Cairn House B&B. It was very clean and comfortable. Helen prepared a tasty breakfast both mornings we were there and it was served on a lovely sunporch. This was our first stay at a B&B and had no idea what to expect. We were pleased.

My husband and I recently stayed at the Cairn House for a weekend away from the kids. We both had a great time. The room was clean and comfortable and breakfast was delicious. Helen was a great hostess.
