Would recommend that others stay...

Liked: Personal touch from Cathy & Rick with good recommendations & real care that guests had a good experience. Also kindly provided a glass of wine on the day of our arrival.
Disliked: Noise of air conditioner in our room was very loud & difficult to turn off. Room was on the top floor so had limited views outside & stairs may be difficult for others.

Authentic, charming, and incredible experience!

Liked: Beautiful grand home with gorgeous dining room and charming tables and full service breakfast. And breakfast was top notch. I had egg and crab on English muffin with hollandaise and smoked apple bacon. Included in the stay. Extraordinary. This was one of three options. They also had a room what likely would have been called a cigar room back in the day. And everyday at 4, they serve drinks for free. I had wine and my husband had old fashions. Again, all free. We had a chance to meet the other two couple staying there and ended up going to dinner with one couple and on a historical pub crawl with the other. We had an amazing time! And the neighbourhood is beautiful!
Disliked: Our room wasn’t huge but we did have the room with a walk in tiled shower which was great! I did see the room with claw foot tub and it was much bigger but we preferred the shower so no complaints!

Perfect place to stay in...

Liked: Loved the location and the history of the property. I also really like how they let you park your car there while on a cruise. The breakfast was fantastic.
Disliked: The stairs, but I knew ahead of time that there was no elevator. Doesn’t diminish the wonderful stay we had at all.

Fantastic Stay.

Liked: The house is a beautiful mansion with orignal wood work. The owner is a great chef and makes you an excellent breakfast. The daily complimentary social hour is very nice.
Disliked: The only difficulty we had was using the tub shower combination. The original clawfoot tub is a high step into the shower. They were able to switch us to a room with a walk in shower the next night.
