The whole stay was wonderful. The inn is beautifully decorated. The staff were very personable and friendly. The tea bar was amazing and it was so cozy to be able to bring a pot of tea up to our room to enjoy with warm cookies in the evening. Breakfast was delicious and the service was outstanding.

The inn was delightful, the breakfast, delicious, and the staff very friendly and accommodating. The steps to the 3rd floor were a bit challenging for an 85 yr-old, but were carpeted and had a good banister. The 2 rooms I rented were small but lovely, with everything you could want available, except only one of the rooms had a comfortable lounging/reading chair. I would be happy to stay again....maybe choosing to be on a lower floor.
