Our stay at 1661 was the perfect location for us to attend a wedding, walk into town, visit their farm & animals, enjoy daily wine & nibbles and breakfast coffee & muffins. We also had 2 opportunities to enjoy the breakfast buffet and both mornings had delicious offerings with home-grown veggies & fresh flowers. Our room was very small which is typical of country inns, but everything was new & immaculate with daily towel exchange & fresh flowers. We even had a private patio! Wonderful people& beautiful weather!

The bed in Dodge room was terrible and air conditioning was not so good, very hot at night and bed was very uncomfortable, cheap soft mattress, for those prices it should have been a lot better, they said the mattress were new, they may have been new, doesn’t equal quality,

Entry door rusted an hard to close/open. It was showing a lot of corrosion due to salty environment. Breakfast ample but so/so. $15 pp not bad I guess, if you bring a cruise ship appetite.
