All the staff were lovely and friendly. The building is beautiful. All the food was delicious. It’s clear everything is made with care and therefore we didn’t mind any delays, especially on busy weekends. Highly recommend.

While we only stayed one night at the Inn, I'd love to come back. The building is incredible, with rich history and interesting rooms. Staff were fantastic and the location outstanding.
