Au contre-temps is beautifully set within an historic house built in the 1880s. The house has recently been renovated without compromising its historic beauty. Your host, David, and his trickster dog, Chester, welcome you to their home, which is more than just a bed and breakfast. It is a shared space where passing guests may have a conversation in the entrance hall with an author on her way to the offices of Cumulus Press in the next room. You may share breakfast with a film director prior to a shoot in the adjoining studio. While the upstairs is brimming with restful sleep at night, the ground floor is the centre of creative activity by day. A healthy breakfast is enjoyed in the dining area adjacent to the Studio on the ground floor between 8:30-9:30 am. Locally roasted fair-trade coffee will satisfy any connaisseur, and a variety of herbal and non-herbal teas complement any morning ritual. A wholesome selection of organic breads, cereals, yogourt, fresh fruit, jams, juices, are offered daily. Over a rotation we will also provide a warm selection of dishes: croissants, muffins, bagels, pastries, french toast, etc. Wireless internet is accessible throughout the house for guests with a laptop. To maintain a healthy setting, smoking is not permitted anywhere inside the house.
