Fancy building but poor dining options

Boutique hotel in the middle of nowhere. The property was lovely overall and the room was old and had antique charm. But it was cold and all I had in a large suite was a small fan heater. My room was full of old colonial era photos - not something I particularly appreciate and for that reason alone I will not stay there again. Dinner at the in-house restaurant was an attempt to be fancy with limited options, but I think it missed the mark and was quite overpriced. Breakfast was also quite limited and did not cater for varied dietary requirements.

I have only great things to say about this property, our room was something out of a novel, clean, spacious, and the balcony off the front was the cherry on top. And of course all the staff were incredible.

Unique, very friendly and personal

We unfortunately only spent one night in this fabulous hotel, but we definitely plan to return! It is just SO interesting, vibey, friendly and comfortable. The historic building, art everywhere, magnificent huge room - all wonderful!! A bathroom you could dance in. Lovely back garden. Huge own private balcony. We had the Baines room, one of the ten large rooms. The owners are super friendly and treat guests like old friends. We'll be back!

Quirky Art Hotel on Route 62

We have always enjoyed our stays at this wonderful hotel in Barrydale. It has new super-friendly owners who have done wonderful renovations. The staff are all amazing. Dinner and breakfast where both delicious. Next time we'll stay 2 nights for sure.
