This is a charming place to get away! Love setting and convenience of the location. The Inn has impecable staff, the food is outstanding from the breakfast buffet to the afternoon tea to dinner in the restaurant. We took advantage of the spa and pool/whirlpool facilities to relax and unwind. We will definitely return!

The host to take a reservations when we got there his name was Nathaniel. He was great and helpful. Because it was a vague event going on our room was ready by 3 o’clock. The biggest problem we had was the shuttle that we’ve paid for to go back-and-forth to the event. There was no specific direction for where people should be sitting to be waiting. People cut in front of the line to jump in the shuttle, which was not right because they were parked down the block from everybody else and then we had to wait for the next shuttle. So what I’m trying to say is make specific where everybody stands to wait for the shuttle so there is a line. So there is nobody no body in front of each each other.
