The Inn is truly beautiful with gorgeous art and lovely antiques. The owners/staff are friendly and flexible. They catered a birthday dinner the last night of our stay. The food was delicious, the table was impressive, the service was impeccable. We had a great time and highly recommend.

Our group of 8 family on a road trip sure enjoyed our stay. The home has ample rooms and bathrooms for everyone to enjoy. Laurie was so nice accommodating our requests for Amazon box deliveries, late night delayed flight arrivals, and breakfast. We will certainly be back. Great stay.

We loved our stay at this historic home! The rooms were comfortable and well-appointed. The owners were welcoming and ensured we enjoyed our stay. We would definitely return. One minor issue is that one of the beds listed as a queen was a double, but this minor blip did not take away from our enjoyment of the property! Thank you for your hospitality.

Wonderful Girls Getaway!

We had such a great time here – it was exactly what we were hoping for with our girls weekend. The managers were so accommodating, friendly and personable. From getting a tour around the house to the continental breakfast, I would definitely recommend this house.

Historic Home for a Family Stay

Beautiful historic home to stay in with your family. Worth noting that all bedrooms are on the second floor. Trains pass by occasionally. The innkeepers were kind and attentive to our requests. We would choose to stay here again.

What s wonderful spot for a family reunion.

12 of us came to town for a celebration of life service. We wanted to be together to reminisce, laugh and cry together. The manor was amazing. Plenty of room. Lots to explore and entertainment for the young adults. Ashleigh and Brendan were exceptional hosts tentative and kind. We loved the history lessons. Thanks for making our stay perfect.
