The staff was friendly, efficient and organized. The inn itself was very comfortable. I never felt rushed, I could come and go at my leisure. The inn itself has more of a comfortable home atmosphere compared to a hotel

Loved it!

Our stay was amazing! The building is adorable and our room was very clean and had its own fireplace. We opted to purchase breakfast sandwiches rather than eat the free continental breakfast, and they were great to take on the road. Highly recommend!
