We booked the cottage suite for a few days away over the holidays. Overall we enjoyed our stay - the service was excellent, the grounds are beautiful, and getting hot chocolate/coffee/breakfast delivered to our room was a HUGE treat (also delicious). As is typical with older inns, this place has it's quirks and could use some upgrades - the shower fluctuated between freezing cold and scalding every 60 seconds, the bed was uncomfortably hard, and the layout of the cottage is a bit inconvenient - the sink is in the bedroom, the tub is fully exposed to the living room, and the toilet/shower room is in between, but door doesn't fully close. We would definitely stay again, but would try a different room.

Stayed here for our babymoon and we really enjoyed it. It was tucked away and private and the grounds were beautiful. We enjoyed getting our breakfast up in the room by the fire. The bed was super cozy and the sheets were so soft
