Tannaghtyn

My name is Aimee Ford, recently I was traveling from the Chicago-land area (Illinois/United States) to Florenceville Canada in New Brunswick for my employer McCain Foods. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at the Tannaghtyn Bed & Breakfast. It was well marked, and sat away from the main road- high on a picturesque rolling hill. Upon my arrival, I was quickly impressed with how well the grounds were kept and meticulously manicured. My delight continued as I approached the main walk and front door, I felt as though I was walking onto an esteemed estate.
Once inside, I was greeted immediately with a friendly voice and smile. From the grand foyer my eyes gazed upon an enchanting oak staircase leading upstairs, and warm colorful decor. The staff portrayed the kind of welcoming spirit that is rare today.
During my stay, I experienced a pristine level of cleanliness. While at the Tannaghtyn I had the pleasure of seeing a few different types of guests during my stay; quiet/reserved, outgoing & adventurous & strict/professional. Regardless of the guest and their needs, the staff seemed delighted and willing to make each guest experience the best it could be.
The surrounding area was like stepping back in time. There is a quaint/old time feel of the local towns and community. While taking in the sites I could not help but feel as though I was driving in a postcard! My candid photos of the countryside could be mistaken for professional photographs, because of the natural beauty of the land. The staff was knowledgeable about the area, its history/folklore and area recommendations, (i.e. after visiting the world’s largest covered bridge, was delighted to learn how it also became known as the “kissing bridge”).
The owner Ruth Giberson (and her husband) could easily be asked as a guest on any culinary arts achievements show/article. Their coffee is simply the best I have ever tasted, (rich robust gourmet flavor)! The breakfast could not be compared with anything I have ever had. Breakfast was served daily on elegant chinaware in a formal dining room setting, strangely with the decor and surroundings it held a warm cottage feel. Their attention to detail is unheard of, (i.e. a small component of the award-worthy breakfast may include a parfait; complete with a layer of homemade applesauce, fresh yogurt, local handpicked berries, and topped with pan roasted and crushed almonds and a smidge of homemade preserves).
I would highly recommend the Tannaghtyn to anyone. I have already suggested this specific location to my friends and co-workers. I feel comfortable with the recommendations as I am confident they will receive the same level of service and accommodations I did! I will be back for another visit soon – without a doubt!
All the rooms are delightful, well decorated, spacious, & decorated warmly! I never slept better!
