Nice old house with antique furniture, clocks and library. Our room had a large covered balcony with armchairs and a table. On the other hand, the stairs and doors were squeaky that kept us waking up at night.

I appreciated the pleasant staff, quiet location, excellent breakfast and clean comfortable room. Our room was at the top of the stairs above registration and breakfast room. Between 6 and 730 I could hear a very loud talker non stop talking. She woke me up.

If you are going to stay here I recommend booking directly with the inn so they have a chance to get it together. The social media coordinator was doing check ins, perhaps they were understaffed. Our experience was a nightmare. We arrived an hour after check in time to find the room I was reserved was “not ready” and had to wait 30 minutes for them to clean a comparable room. She also told us that check out was an hour earlier than what was shown on my reservation. Very unprofessional but the property was nice.

We asked for a room refresh. We put the tag out on the door. No one came by. I carried the trash down to the main house and got new trash bags. We also needed fresh towels and got bath mats instead and were told that’s all they had. It was a struggle just to get the trash picked up and fresh towels. The responses we received from staff was that they were short staffed.

The carpets need to be replaced. The one staff person changed daily and could be more or less helpful. There are no elevators so get ready to carry your own heavy luggage. Rooms are clean but sparsely furnished. The breakfast is continental and varies wildly (not in a good way) from day to day. It is 4 separate buildings. I would not stay there again.
