Such a lovely victorian feel. Could use a bit of upgrading if you could still keep the antique feel. Would love to experience this place in the warmer weather. Bakery is great and staff is wonderful

The rooms are clean and very well kept. The staff are very pleasant and professional. I was there for a two night stay for an on-site wedding. The only area of opportunity for me would be the room’s climate control. It was rainy & cold, even after adjusting the thermostat the room remain colder that the hallway temperature.
