Very Accommodating
The rooms in our suite were lovely and the beds were comfortable. Our hosts showed us how to get to the theater as well as the building where breakfast was. We drove to both, but they were walking distance. I wasn't sure if we would be able to get breakfast because we had to leave relatively early, but even though it was made to order, they were quick in getting it to us. They were even kind enough to let us start a little early (I had emailed them before telling them we had to be on the road before 8:20), which I appreciated. The breakfast was very good and I made it to my next destination on time.

We rented a two-bedroom suite at the Dufton House, a second property for those who run the Stone Maiden Inn. It was clean and fine. The house is located on a nice street about 1.5km from the Festival Theatre. The beds were comfortable and the shower was excellent. The suite was very clean and quiet. It wasn't clear to us on booking that we were staying at the Dufton House rather than the Stone Maiden so would suggest clarifying. The rooms are not overly large and the style of decor is eclectic with a lot of antique furniture, much of it more for show than comfort or utility - not really my taste but quite traditional for a bed and breakfast.
