Peppermint Cottage B & B, Lyons NY

My brother and I stayed here while cycling the Erie Canal Trail. The cottage is a few miles off the trail (via some hilly country roads). This explains my low score on location. Obviously, if you are in a car this would not be a problem. Likewise, there is no place nearby to eat - although the owners - who live in an adjacent property - stocked the refrigerator with the makings for a hearty breakfast (eggs, cheese, toast). They even offered to cook us breakfast if we wanted (we declined as we wanted to get an early start). If you are arriving by bike you need to bring your own food to cook for dinner (we brought ramen noodles), or you can have eggs. The cottage itself is charming and clean and has three double beds.
