    Did not see mention that the Inn only served vegetarian cuisine. It worked out just fine but that would have been helpful info.

    Beautiful, quaint bed and breakfast, beautiful grounds, delicious breakfast. Loved the cozy room with fireplace and enjoyed the jacuzzi.

    Parking was tough Landscape needs help Pots & lighting need attention More windows need screens Best for the staff NOT to chastise us when we present to the dining for breakfast, as opposed to taking a tray to our room, for not informing our intentions re: where breakfast would be served. Since, we were not asked, nor was there anyone to inform the previous day, we surmised it best to assumed breakfast would be in the Dining room. The entire table was taken aback at the questioning that ensued re: our breakfast.

    Some of breakfasts were great, some were ok

    I just wished I had a better place to hang my comforter. With it being the summer months it's a little warmer. So maybe offer a quilt because it's not too heavy. But even Wendy the innkeeper advised she planned on trying to get drawers for under the bed to offer extra storage space.

    I thought the breakfast was delicious and they were so accommodating when I asked for an alternate breakfast. Wendy is such a kind and beautiful person!!

    The Inn was very private, relaxing & comfortable. The garden is tranquil with a family of deer that hang out there all day. The happy hour & breakfast that is provided is good & the staff very kind and accommodating. The place is very clean and the bed very comfortable. The Inn is an old building with a lot of character. We felt as though we were staying at someone’s home and not a hotel. A very relaxing and great experience we had. We will definitely be back!

    Although late check-in went well, I would not recommend arriving in the dark if you get easily spooked. Apparently we were the only guests at the inn that night and the innkeeper doesn't stay at the inn. So you can imagine how eerie it can be with being the only ones in an old house. It can also be difficult to catch or contact the innkeeper. Though it might be because we were the only guests, but we tried many times calling her to see if we could leave our car for an extra couple of hours.

    It's a very cute and cozy inn. We booked the Tattershall room and had to check-in late since we had to deal with some car trouble for most of the day. The innkeeper allowed us to check-in late, which worked out well. The room was what you would expect at a B&B inn. It had a very Downtown Abby-esque feel to it. Everything was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Can't complain about free breakfast either.

    My husband was Very disappointed with the room.. The cable didn't work. The TV was the smallest TV I've ever seen. The bidet was broken. The roo. needs to be updated and more clean for the price. For that price We can stay at a 5 star resort with with beautiful amentities in the room

    Loved the staff. She is amazing. The wine and cheese hour was great. The wind seemed old though. The breakfast was absolutely amazing. Beautifully presented. And again The gal that runs the place is the most amazing part.
