We showed up and they asked us to leave because they weren't ready for us. We stayed at the hotel up the road for much cheaper and it was plenty nice.

The property was not even a hotel, I don’t know why this is on Expedia, we had to end up leaving, to start, there was no one that could check us in and we had to wait, then we needed to change our sheets because they were dirty stained with blood and other things, and no one could help us, there was a loud wedding downstairs and we couldn’t sleep so we ended up leaving

Charming & SO friendly
The host was such a sweet guy, he gave us money for the tolls! Also he knows how to get places faster, so you can avoid traffic, which is a real thing here. The hotel itself is used for weddings a lot, apparently, so you can imagine how beautiful this hotel is, the pictures don't do it justice. Also, there's a pool table. So. Go here, it's great.

Beautiful old and stately home become a small hotel. In COVID breakfast served in your room. Host with 2 small delightful children. Nice balcony for breakfast. In times without COVID, I imagine it’s very convivial
