This Inn was stunning! The Inn Keepers were extremely nice! The service was top of the line. The breakfast was delicious. The quiche was the best I’ve had! The rooms were beautiful. You have to remember this Inn’s age. This is a historical building with character. There’s really nothing bad I can say!
