Lots of things to love and I must say the breakfast is awesome. The tea cakes are wonderful touch. Beds are comfortable and the rooms are massive. Lots of charm in an historic house. Staff is extremely friendly. I really enjoyed my stay. Rooms are clean with great air conditioning. Towels are fluffy and water waiting in the room. I would recommend replacing the carpet in the carriage house that leads to the upper floor.

The location is good. The staff was friendly. The included breakfast was good. The availability of coffee and teas was a pleasant commodity. The room that we had was very dated. The bed and HVAC were comfortable. However the seating accommodation was pretty dated. Two wooden chairs and a corner table were there if we didn't sit on the bed. The bathroom was small and poorly lit. Definitely not a room to spend an evening at the location. It was fine for sleeping and getting ready in the morning.
