Dear Bart & Therese,
It is 6:15 am and I am on my way. The hospitality was superb. I feel sorry for the remaining B&B's on my itinerary. They have an impossible standard to meet.

Hello Bart & Therese,
Thank you for your vision and efforts in creating an absolute beautiful and serene environment. Karina and I truly enjoyed our stay at Ascot Parnell. We really didn’t know what to expect, and believe me our expectations were definitely exceeded. Great breakfast’s, Great conversations, Great people and above all a Fantastic “B & B”. Re : Kalifa. Karina and I are now considering owning a greyhound. Given we travel so much, it may not be an favorable option. Is that how you spell “Kalifa”? We will be back...
Warmest regards.
Elliott & Karine Yancey (Darling Harbour, Sydney Australia).

hospitality and wise advice. We see why your B&B has been such a success and will certainly tell our friends about you. Take care.
Warm Regards,

What a wonderful way to start my trip. I am so delighted to have been here. You both are so nice and hospitable that I'd like to stay for a couple of more days. The breakfasts were fabulous ! I loved the "Flemish Toast", however, so many good breakfasts leave little room for lunch ! Glad to have been here.
Thank you for everything. Loved it. Adam Eastwick New York, NY.
