Lovely place to stay close to amenities of Melville (though a bit of an uphill walk to get to Melville's shopping area). Reasonably priced and a very friendly welcome.

Cozy, charming little B&B in Melville. Short walk to a safe busy downtown Melville. Also, close to a little hill that’s good for a morning walk. The breakfast is excellent, and made to order with requests accepted. Rooms are of a nice size, and they have a well kept cozy home feel. I highly recommend this B&B. Denise is a wonderful host.

Séjour super : Jolie maison particulière avec jardin situé dans un quartier calme et tranquille où on peut circuler à pied. Lit confortable, petits déjeuners très copieux et excellents. Kitchenette proche des chambres si besoin. Boissons et fruits à disposition. Nous pourrions croire que nous sommes des invités. Accueil excellent et chaleureux.
