Festive feeling on arrival with several groups enjoying themselves in the restaurant and pub. Staff was friendly and helpful. I appreciate the rate and the reasonable accommodations. A few nits to pick: the bed had the thinnest of blankets which at 10 degrees outside was not cozy at all. Couldn't get the room warm enough after 11pm. Went for a breakfast pastry and coffee, but the seating was removed, and if I brought the coffee back to my room, it would have gone totally cold. When I did get back, my key didn't work and I had to get another one. I'd come back, but in warmer weather!

Historic Inn that’s popular with the locals. Like most historic properties they could use some modern amenities like USB ports,etc. For added fun book the Haunted room #40. We stayed in that room for one night but didn’t see any spirits, only the liquid kind. ~ Jim

Needed earplugs
Directly outside our bedroom window were several exhaust fans for the property's restaurant kitchen. The fans were extremely loud and vibrated through the wall and headboard! We were told that the fans would stop running at 7:00pm. However, there was also a function that evening and they ran for several more hours. Additionally, we could hear the music from the function loud and clear. Given the laughing and singing, it was great time! Later we awoke to banging and loud noises that we assume were from the clean-up crew. The room was fine and we really wanted to enjoy our stay but it's very difficult to do with all the noises and three hours sleep.

Have stayed frequently on trips between Maine and NY. As always, friendly and clean. Great baked goods and coffee in the morning for guests. Rooms are not modern if that is a concern.

This is a historic Inn, with lovely grounds and a nearby historic village that transports you into the past! This place was quaint, and there are always weddings happening every time we go. The Tavern is nice also, if a bit pricy. We stop in to their Bake Shoppe for the lemon cream cake whenever we drive through 😊
