The Inn is very clean-the room and outside areas. There are few amenities but we enjoyed the larger than usual fridge in our room and the fact that our room and surrounding rooms had either a little patio or balcony area with chairs and a table to sit outside and enjoy the patio area Staff-especially Sofia-were very friendly and helpful There is shopping area across the street that includes some restaurants but we really enjoyed Bristol Farms for groceries, meds...and they had a great selection of meals cooked on the spot

The room was spotless, loved the hardwood floors. The breakfast was fantastic and all the staff were very friendly. The entire hotel, landscaping, etc is is manicured and maintained. I give the Pepper Tree Inn a 10 and will stay there again. Also, we asked for a downstairs room because I had my dog with me. They were wonderful and we had a little patio right outside our sliding glass door.
