Beautiful hotel in a beautiful area!
Pros:

The building was beautiful and homey! The rooms were nicely decorated and the beds were cozy. Breakfast was in a beautiful space and the food was great!

Cons:

Very little, the only thing was we booked a room with a fireplace. We have one room and the fireplace didn't work. Then were were placed in another room and given a duraflame log and it smoked up the room. It made everything smell like smoke. But, it definitely added to the experience and made a memory. We loved the place and would definitely stay there again.

Absolutely will stay here again. Just beautiful with a lovely staff.
Pros:

Gorgeous property and wonderful location. Loved the little tavern downstairs!

Cons:

The walls seem pretty thin, so the noise from other folks walking around is pretty loud. Mostly, everyone tried to be respectful and quiet at night time though.
