Our kitchen is being renovated, so we thought it would be great to get away for a couple of days. We read many top-scoring reviews about "Inn at Huntingfield Creek" here on Tripadvisor, so we rightfully thought this would be the place to go. We arrived 12/27/11 and departed 12/29/11. The owners were away and we were checked in by other folks who work there. We stayed in the main residence, not a cottage. Many great aspects to this Inn, which are:
Phenomenal area. When you pull onto the expansive driveway going to the Inn, you are immediately secluded. The property is immaculate, rustic, and every other superlative that would describe how lovely it is. We were greeted by the three beautiful, resident dogs who, after vying for our attention (and got it) went on their merry way. The Inn itself is spacious, well appointed with a gorgeous gathering room filled with books, beverages of all sorts, a warm, inviting pot-bellied stove to chase away the chill and a view of the rest of the property that is beautiful. The rooms are extremely clean, very spacious and comfortable.
Breakfast was unimpressive and seemingly obligatory. There were very average scrambled eggs with dots of cheese, bacon, cold toast, (only a couple of slices were whole-grain) a bit of fruit and yogurt and a breakfast Danish that was cut into small pieces. It was boring. No alternatives such as cereal, waffles, pancakes or the like. Also, we were concerned that, although you can lock yourself into your room for the night, no room keys were given out and our room remained unlocked while we were out for the day. Everything was fine, but I'd at least like the facade of knowing that my room is locked when I'm not in it. Also, there is no "tidy" service for the room unless you ask for it.
We will not return.

Jim and I scheduled a quick personal getaway after Christmas. At the last minute we had to find a sub for our regular innsitter. With little training, she did her best but not satisfactorily for guests who expected us to live up to our reputation as foodies. We will make darn sure that never happens again. We have contacted these guests and offered our profuse apologies.
Breakfast is a huge part of what we do best!
