I cannot wait to visit again in near future! Everything, from the room and accommodations to the grounds and staff, was just top notch. What put The Ruse over the top was the amazing custom breakfasts from the chef, who delivered our meals himself! Love

The Ruse was really incredible! And despite our joke before check-in, there was no ruse. We weren't totally sure what to expect upon arrival, but our room was fantastic - updated, clean, well-appointed - just all-around lovely. We stayed in "The Palmer" with three adults (sisters) and it worked perfectly with a king bed, pull out sofa, generous bathroom and perfectly ample storage area for 3 suitcases. We also loved having the second entry to our room (via the bathroom) lead right to the pool/hot tub area (and breakfast!). The included breakfast was great, and The Pavilion is a beautiful room. It's an easy walk to town (although on a dark road, so not for everyone), and we would very gladly stay here again. All the B&B amenities with a very high-end hotel vibe, and great service with any questions or needs. The weather wasn't warm enough to use the outdoor amenities, but this would be extra fantastic during the warmer months - plus two patios private to our room. We did love an evening soak in the hot tub after a day of exploring. 10/10 recommend!
