The Inn is lovely - staff is pleasant and the “extras” are nice. Two issues with our stay - parking is tough, the lot was full but we were fortunate to get street parking. Also, it is an older Inn. Our room was a ground floor next to a stairway. It was very noisy. Our upstairs guests were very loud coming in and walked around the creaking floors until almost 12.30 and then were up again early. Sleeping was rough. We did like it there and if I came back I would select and upstairs room away from a main entrance.

Beautiful hotel , amazing kind people work there. But stay away from rooms with old yellow ac units. The smell killed us. I wish I asked for another room. The garden inside the hotel is beautiful!

The hotel is historic and has lots of vintage charm especially in the common rooms. The gardens were beautiful and well manicured. Our room was nice, bed and pillows were comfy. The room did have a funky odor, like an old house smelll, but it eventually went away once we turned on the air conditioner. The place offered a continental breakfast which was basic with muffins, mandarin oranges, and coffee. Bagels, more fruit and juice would have been nice. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The grounds are beautiful and well kept. The room was spacious, but the furniture was very old, sofa stained, no counterspace in bathroom and closet was weird. I also had to carry my luggage up a large flight of carpeted stairs. The smell was musty. The cottages may be better. Luckily, I found parking on the grounds but didn't dare use my car to go anywhere for fear of having to find parking on the streets.
