Elegant Charmer Must Visit
Pros:

The property is very elegant and historic feeling with beautiful touches of whimsey.

Cons:

I did not get to spend enough time there. Also would have liked longer blanket on beds, it looked great but felt short sheeted when I got tucked in.

The stay was very comfortable.
Pros:

The breakfast was very good, however it was much more costly than I would expect for a breakfast. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was good. We also loved the fitness room. I wish they had a whirlpool or sauna.

Cons:

The person who checked us in was very abrupt and not very friendly. He could have offered the information that we had to ask for later. I was also hoping for a little more space in our room.
