Lovely grounds and intersting decor
Pros:

The breakfast was fantastic. The poached pear was a delight. This was one of the finest breakfasts that I have ever had.

Cons:

The air conditioning in the room was hard to adjust. The air blew on my head all night and woke up with head congestion.

Pros:

The Inn is beautiful. The room was very romantic with a luxurious feel. Some of the rest of the property could of used a wipe down. The sun room had spider webs on the seats and the outdoor tables hadn't been wiped clean. Regardless of these observations, the property is beautiful with a very calm, and peaceful vibe.

The unfortunate part of the stay was the rudeness of 1 set of guests that made a point to say the were regulars on several occassions. They walked around liked they owned the place with lack of consideration for other guests. They chain smoked right outside the front door so you couldn't even exit without having to smell their cigarettes. I was on a mini honeymoon and wanted a quiet, romantic evening with my new husband and was forced to listen to these guests go up and down the stairs to go outside to chain smoke. The front door has a pin pad lock so every 20 minutes when they came back inside, we had to listen to the loud mechanism of the pin pad that unlocked the front door, as our room was the one on the first floor.

There was romantic music playing in the front living room all night, which I found lovely. I really enjoyed a quiet moment here, sharing chocolate covered strawberries with my husband while wearing the complimentary terry cloth robes - until those rude guests appeared again to smoke. Ugh!

Let's talk about that fantastic gourmet breakfast - WOW! What a great way to start the day. Best morning meal I have every had.

Pros:


I had a wonderful stay at this bed and breakfast! From the moment I arrived, I felt so welcomed and at home. The hosts were warm, friendly, and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The room was eautifully decorated, and very comfortable.

Breakfast was absolutely delicious—fresh, homemade, and with lots of thoughtful touches. The location is also perfect: peaceful and relaxing, yet close enough to shops, restaurants, and local attractions.

I truly enjoyed my time here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, charming, and relaxing getaway. I can’t wait to come back!
