The facility doesn't have anyone on-site, therefore all communications were done through email or text. Leading up to our stay, questions were not answered right away. Questions were addressed prior to travel date. I made the mistake of assuming there would be air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, this was not available in our room. So read the description and amenities carefully before booking, if certain things are important to you. Luckily, the night we stayed didn't warrant an AC. The TV connection was choppy and kept pixilating. Overall, the place was clean except for a dead bug my wife found near the stand up mirror by the bathroom. Instructions to accessing the property was clear and precise. The experience felt more like an Air BnB than a hotel stay. I would stay here again knowing what I can expect.

Property was somewhat difficult to find, a bigger sign at the drive would help as it is separate from the office. Also we did not know we would have to take luggage up a very tall flight of stairs. Since we are in our 60’s this was difficult. Had we known we would have asked for ground level or looked elsewhere.

It was quiet and parking was convenient. It is however quite remote. Room could have had extra pillows available. Cleanliness of room was questionable. Staff assistance by phone was prompt.

We liked the very comfortable king bed and slept well. It was very quiet but of course it was a week night. I liked that it was on the main floor and no stairs. I would have liked more counter space in the bathroom for a curling iron etc. but realize it is an old house. We also would have liked a fridge and microwave in the room, but found one in the hall. It was okay.

What a cute little inn! The room was very nicely furnished with lots of attention to detail and the bed was very comfortable. We loved walking across to the road to the Lass and Ladle as well.

Our room was lovely, but we had booked a B&B. When we arrived, the breakfast portion was no longer an option. The advertising with various online sites needs to reflect that.

I loved the location, close to the hwy. The property is beautifully maintained and private. The building takes you to the xviii century and the room.....wwwaaawww....just surprised me as soon as i opened the door !!!!!! The antique furniture takes your breathe away! Soo beautiful and well taken care of. The bathroom is like renovated yesterday, clean and equipped with everything you would need, from a make-up removal package to soap, shower caps, of course shampoo, conditioner and bodywash..... I could just walk there without my travel bag !!!!! The towels were immaculate !! The bedding was absolutely clean and soft !! Coffee in that hallway......eh....i managed... Overall, a beautiful place !!! I truly recommend !!!!!

We did not receive check-in instructions from Expedia or the hotel, prior to our arrival, but managed to get a hold of someone who helped us. Room is spacious, clean, and well appointed. No restaurant, and only a soup and sandwich place across the street, that was very good. A little problem with the air exchanger coming on at night that made a lot of noise, but was quickly fixed. Right on a minor highway, so was a little noisy, but not too bad.

Would have liked to be met by or at least contacted by someone in person. Was surprised to find no WiFi or internet connection and although the bathroom was spacious and the bathtub big, there was no shower. The living space was excellent with a nice large bed, but the pillows were like bolsters and very uncomfortable. The wraparound porch was a bonus.
