A unique,Cozy Inn

This inn is truly unique, featuring a classic Victorian style with carefully curated interior decor and a strong sense of homeliness. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the breakfast is plentiful and nutritious, making the stay especially pleasant. The only downside is that the air conditioning is a bit noisy.

The A/C vent in our room was barely blowing any air, outside the room and in other rooms was 5 degrees colder. Our bed was so firm we didn't get much sleep, But everything else was fantastic, breakfast great, the decor of this 160 years old building very nice, full facilities. We will be rebooking next year in a different room too in joy the town of Elmia and the St Jacobs farmer Market
