We loved this Inn! It was so cozy and the owners are just wonderful. We opted to add on breakfast downstairs to our stay and it was absolutely amazing. I am not sure how they made a simple breakfast sandwich stand out as much as they did, but I will be coming back for it!

The Inn was extremely charming, and we loved being able to sit in the library and view the unique set of books. An extremely comfortable bed with pillows when you’re at a home away from home. Owners were so accommodating and we had everything we needed. And it was nice to be away from city life, and also television devices. We had an amazing time! Looking forward to the next time

For an inn, an element of warmth was missing, because we did not interact with any staff during our stay. Or guests for that matter. Check-in was all done by the guest by following the instructional email sent in advance. The historic building has charm, the room was clean, well appointed and comfortable and the self-serve continental breakfast was good. A perfectly fine place to stay
