We loved our stay at The Charles! We had The Buck suite at the top and four of us slept comfortably in its two beds and sofa bed. If someone were very tall, they might be less comfortable, but we found it delightful. Good breakfast and hospitality hour too, excellent coffee and juices, all thoughtfully laid out. We hope to be back!

Our experience was great. It is a big house with I believe 10 suits. Stuff are nice. Breakfast is great. The overall stay was very cozy. Since it is a big house setting, you can talk to the other guests during the breakfast…. Great place to stay if you would enjoy quiet, family feeling experience.
