Cozy babymoon

Stayed here for our babymoon and we really enjoyed it. It was tucked away and private and the grounds were beautiful. We enjoyed getting our breakfast up in the room by the fire. The bed was super cozy and the sheets were so soft

Nice B&B beautiful old building and nice staff. Fire alarm in hallway went off two nights in a row so the interruption at 4 in the morning wasn’t fun. Breakfast was delicious.

Cute clean bed and breakfast. The breakfast they serve every morning is straight out of a 5 Star restaurant in my opinion. The atmosphere is to die for. We stayed in the Library, cutest coziest room I’ve ever stayed in. The room is a vacation all on its own. Already planning our next stay we loved it so much

My husband and I LOVED getting to stay here! The staff here were wonderful! They really valued their guest’s privacy and made breakfast’s so beautifully, and kept the room so clean for their guests. The gardens were spectacular! It felt like home and we didn’t want to leave! The location is close to everything as well! Would highly recommend!

Great vintage Inn with a long history. the vibe is really great inside out. staff was great and the breakfast is very interesting. food is fresh and you get to eat with other guests in the dining room (or you can opt for eating in your room). room is clean and comfortable but not too spacious.

We booked the cottage suite for a few days away over the holidays. Overall we enjoyed our stay - the service was excellent, the grounds are beautiful, and getting hot chocolate/coffee/breakfast delivered to our room was a HUGE treat (also delicious). As is typical with older inns, this place has it's quirks and could use some upgrades - the shower fluctuated between freezing cold and scalding every 60 seconds, the bed was uncomfortably hard, and the layout of the cottage is a bit inconvenient - the sink is in the bedroom, the tub is fully exposed to the living room, and the toilet/shower room is in between, but door doesn't fully close. We would definitely stay again, but would try a different room.
