Absolutely love it
Staff is lobbing, attentive and respectful
They gave us directions for a beautiful restaurant where we had excellent service Zinc Bistro, which I totally recommend now
Beautiful rooms, special, wonderful well done breakfast (as one expects from a real B&B)
Perfection.
The front desk clerk refused to honor my request for a first floor room due to a recent knee injury. He said I would have to pay $75 more for a king delux room. I had secured a standard double king room through Expedia. He then said I could have a first floor queen room but he could not guarantee it - he would leave it as a “note” on my reservation. I would have to go to the Inn to see about availability. I was not going to drive 3 hrs to learn whether I could have a first floor room or not.
I did not check in as I was very concerned about stairs leading to a further injury. Apparently this Inn refuses to acknowledge the Americans With Disabilities Act. Interestingly, the other inns I booked with Expedia gladly found me a first floor room.
Cute property and our room was perfect. Small but had a separate seating area with a nice couch and TV.
The staff was fantastic and the free breakfast included a menu of 3 main items to select from that were served at your table.
The breakfast was delicious! It was a very relaxing place to stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Very nice inn. And nice breakfast. However, big differences in room quality, and you don’t get to choose your room unless you go thru Hotels.com and non-inn website. Unfortunately we got one of the rooms in the back of the carriage. Was very disappointing and staff was unable to move us to another room.

I booked a Superior and chose a specific one at booking. However, upon checking, I was told that because I booked through Expedia, the room type was not guaranteed.
Check-in was very welcoming. Room was ready and lovely. Spacious, clean, corner turret serving as desk and seating area was a bonus. Complementary breakfast was delicious and served restaurant style; a very pleasant start to the day. It was a very comfortable stay.
Very nice place. Quiet. The breakfasts are included and are upscale with excellent staff service.
Unless you are young and don't care, make sure you get a ground floor room - the upstairs rooms require a walk up a large staircase, and are inconvenient.
Would definitely return.
