The service was friendly and had a warm, homey feel. The place itself is beautiful and has a charming, unique character due to its age. My husband would have liked to see omelets or scrambled eggs offered at breakfast—he missed having the typical warm breakfast we usually enjoy at bed and breakfast places. I would reccomend this place for sure

First, parking was convenient and safe. The room I selected was available for me before check in time. This worked out well since I had an early flight in. I really enjoy the Victorian style with old world charm. My room #28 was extremely cozy with the fireplace and just at the top of the stairs. The breakfast selection was great !!! All staff did an excellent job. But, Stacey was especially helpful thru out the entire process of my stay. I definitely will be booking again. Please keep me posted with special events.Thank you. Happy Halloween !!!
