When I was reviewing B&B's on Trip Advisor this year, there was nothing recent on The Olde English Tudor Inn. I went with old reviews and decided to take a chance. We had no problem making the reservation by phone reserving the rooms we needed. There were 4 of us, needing 2 rooms. When we arrived, we were a little hesitant. The Inn is rather dark inside, but actually probably much like an English Inn. One of the innkeepers(husband) spoke with us as we pulled up and was very friendly. As we walked in, the wife immediately had our bill out and asked how we were paying. This put us off a bit as we wanted to see the place. Anyway, she showed us around and showed us our rooms. First impression: one room was very dark with very little sunlight coming in, the other very bright with an entire wall of windows. Also noticed that the ceiling vents and ceiling hadn't been cleaned for awhile - appeared slightly moldy. Ok.......so we got past that, and had a fantastic stay!! The 2 rooms we stayed in (Queen's and Knight's) were quite large and roomy, with a king bed and a day bed that had a trundle beneath. The "dark" room really wasn't all that dark - lighting was great. Steve is in the Inn most all day every day and is wonderful. Linda was working and we didn't get to spend much time with her after our first meeting.

Breakfast was good and plentiful. Not gourmet, but very tasty and lots of it. Sometimes regular breakfasts are welcome over the gourmet stuff morning after morning. Steve accomodated us with an early breakfast one morning that we had an early hike planned. There were a lot of return guests there - they come year after year, so that tells you something. We would definitely be return guests!

Location couldn't be better! Just past light #7 and up a hill. Can't hear any downtown noise, yet only takes an able bodied person 5-10 minutes to walk. It's downhill to town, and uphill to the Inn, but the uphill isn't bad at all. We had a terrific stay. Only problems (and I believe Steve and Linda are working on them)......are some of the mattresses need replacing. The Knight's room was fine, but the Queen's is in desparate need of a new mattress.
