Imagine staying at a Five Star hotel, but with the warmth and charm of a country home. That's County Buzzz B&B in Prince Edward County. Thanks to the good taste of our hostess Faye, we found the rooms to be beautifully decorated and impeccably appointed with every amenity your would expect from a five star establishment. Tom and Faye have taken great care to ensure that everything the weary traveler needs is right where you would expect to find it. From the lovely selection of natural toiletries to the comfy robes and slippers, you are made to feel welcome and cared for.
But let's be honest we're staying at a B&B because we need to rest and recharge before moving on. County Buzzz hits the mark once again. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the linen was luxurious. You feel like you're floating on a cloud as you drift off to sleep.
The morning was startling. Open the blinds and take in the breathtaking vista. We were struck by the many different shades of green for as far as the eye could see, which by the way was for miles. A little river, the name of which escapes me, meanders through the reeds that gently wave in the breeze. Over to the left is a flock of waterfowl. Tom also mentioned that they see swans from time to time. Coffee on the comfortably appointed patio gives you a chance to really enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Our hosts, Faye and Tom are gracious, warm and attentive, while not overly familiar. That's a fine line to navigate and they do it exceptionally well. In many ways it's as if you are staying with friends. Their happy and gregarious natures make you feel at home instantly.
We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast, complete with honey harvested on their property. They have a vegetable garden at the bottom of their yard, and they try hard to source most things locally. I would say you can't get more local than your own yard.
Well back on the road again, all rested, fed and recharged. We had a wonderful stay at the Country Buzzz, we'll be back soon!
