Harford Vacations from $1,741

I was disappointed in the breakfast choices, in the past I always enjoyed the breakfast choices. This time there was only a Continental choice, apparently due to small bookings, I would have liked being informed prior to our stay.

Everything great. Only disappointment was complimentary breakfast buffet from 8 to 10. Get there before 9:30 or you will be scraping scraps from the pans. Attendant looked at them before me, closed the lids and did nothing. What was left was inedible.

Rather overpriced for the basic room. Chemical or musty smell from carpet but not noticeable when ac on cold. Someone's sock left in dresser. The pillows were numerous but deflated quickly when used. Bedding was clean. No microwave in room. Bathroom was excellent with shower that doesnt leak.

Staff was amazing, and communication during and after booking was excellent. The building (built in 1830) was excellently maintained, and furnishings/decor struck the perfect balance between period and modern. The included breakfast was cooked and served in the upstairs dining room (former ballroom/meeting room). Parking was adequate and on site. The surrounding area was convenient and remote enough to be quiet, yet near necessities. The on site pub had excellent food and was reasonably priced. All in all, it was an amazing experience (for our 50th wedding anniversary), and everything we'd hoped. We'll be staying again.

Expedia sent me a phony menu and wine pairing document that the hotel convincingly explained was not valid. I only made dinner reservations thru Expedia because of this promotion. The dining staff were very kind and apologetic .
