This was a pleasant surprise. We liked this place overall and were really impressed with the nice breakfast.
Pros:

Great staff, beautiful grounds, very comfortable bed, exceptional breakfast.

Cons:

We didn’t realize we would be so far inland, but that’s on us. In the room furnishings are older and kind of worn. Bathroom is pretty dated.

Pros:

The property was absolutely beautiful. The flowers and greenery everywhere coupled with the fact that you are nestled in the rolling hills. The pool was clean. There was a nice fire pit at night as well. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delish. Nothing negative to say.

Cons:

Nothing.

Good “hide-a-way"
Pros:

The Breakfast they have there is wonderful. The pool and grounds beautiful although it was bitterly cold so we couldn’t enjoy that part. Bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

The room was nice, spacious and clean but the “heating unit” was so horribly loud that we ended up turning it off. Location was way too far away from the Carmel downtown.

Wonderful staff, delightful ambiance, charming environment
Cons:

It was a bit pricey and the breakfast served during the week was not a very broad selection. For the price, I would’ve expected a nicer breakfast
