We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely go back. The staff were outstanding, the breakfast was delicious and so was the afternoon tea. The rooms all have fireplaces, our room was wonderful. To come back at night and turn on the fireplace and also turn that on in the morning. Bed was very, very comfortable. We have nothing but great things to say about the place.

The inn has all the charm of an old world building that it should. The food at breakfast was good and the service at same was very pleasant. However the room was a bit of a mishmash with so many different fabrics and antique lights. The bathroom was very small. f
