Perfect relaxing anniversary/birthday weekend
Pros:

Everything was perfect! The king bed was a nice surprise in the Buford room.

Cons:

Didn't realize we could turn off the blue LED temp on the heater until the next morning but this is on us not on staff or the accommodations.

Pros:

The hotel is charming, definitely gives the historical feeling we were hoping for.
The meal was special, especially excellent wines paired with the dishes, the food is delicious but not exceptional as we expected from the reviews.
The staff is very helpful and pleasant, we were happy to visit the very impressive wine cellar of the place.

Cons:

Take an extra charge for a cappuccino at breakfast in a place like this? It really doesn't fit.
And make us sit in front of a kitchen door and dirty stairs in the morning, too bad. Ruined the atmosphere.

2nd Anniversary Made Unforgettable!
Pros:

The 6-course meal was beyond imagination. The staff were all friendly and helpful. It was our wedding anniversary, and I was touched with all the extra special touches to acknowledge that!

Cons:

Although we loved our room, there was a lot of steps & confusion locating it. The bed was so high that we were glad for the provided stool to get in it! At our age & walking abilities, I should have chosen a different room.

Nice, but…
Pros:

Pros: beautiful setting. Nice walking path and beautiful gardens. The whole place, including our room, exuded period charm. Beautiful pool area. Extremely friendly front desk and bar staff. Very comfy bed and pillows.

Cons: 1) noise: the property is on the corner of a very busy road and we heard traffic noise at all hours (we had a room in the main building). Furthermore, the inn, in spite of the fact that it isn’t really a family friendly inn, allows children of all ages and we were kept up a major portion out 2nd night by a screaming (not just crying). We left more tired than we were when we arrived. 2) no refrigerator in the room. We had things that needed to be kept cool, which meant we were constantly requesting buckets of ice, which was awkward and time consuming. 3) WiFi never worked on our 3rd floor room. 4) cleanliness: our room could have used a deep clean. The tub (which was the only way to get cleaned as there is no separate shower (FS Key room), had a soap scum ring that I had to scrub clean before I could bathe, and all of the fixtures were dusty. 4) breakfast (while good) offered very little variety for a stay of more than 2 days.

Overall, we don’t feel like it was worth the cost.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 star Anniversary Celebration!
Pros:

Anniversary celebration overnight and dinner. Amazing! Booked a Monday night. Had this historic mansion to ourselves. Our room (Clabaugh Room) was amazing and included a fireplace with views of the gardens and front. Warm welcome. Prosecco welcome in the room. Hors d'oeuvres and drinks in the Pub. Fantastic dinner with 3 wine pairings beside the fireplace with a candle lit table. Amazing staff , thank you Bill and Ali. Huge single malt selection in the Pub. Electrical problems while there. Less than 30 minutes. Emergency lighting did not operate. That said they would report/repair. In short, we loved it. We’ll return after Thanksgiving for Christmas decorations with family. Well done! We will return. Thank you!❤️❤️❤️❤️

A very relaxing and romantic place to celebrate our 51 years of marriage
Pros:

Beautiful antiques yet comfortable. Warm ambience in every room.
Staff is extremely attentive, knowledgeable and accommodating.
There was a glitch with the room (on Booking.com's end) and the staff fixed it immediately, even upgrading our room when they discovered we were celebrating our wedding anniversary.
Breakfast choices are wonderful and suit any diet.
Dinner is always a spectacular event

Cons:

There was not a thing we did not like. Our stay was perfect.

Cozy, delightful, and a world away
Pros:

Antrim 1844 is a truly delightful place. My husband and I stayed in the main house (there are a number of other room/suite choices in other buildings on the property). The entire facility is impeccably decorated in mid-1800s style furniture, paintings, and wall hangings. Many of the rooms have fireplaces, both woodburning and gas. Our room, Clabaugh, had a cozy king featherbed, with an antique armoire and other furniture and a view out two sides of the building over what in non-winter months is the garden. The Smokehouse Restaurant in the main building was excellent, with a seven-course dinner offering that was well worth the cost. The executive chef is a young Peruvian, who apparently trained with the best. The cuisine was creative, flavorful, and had many unexpected but delicious details. Our stay felt like stepping back in time; we were looking for a not-too-far-away getaway, and Antrim 1844 fit the bill perfectly. We'll be back.
