    This is great food

    Eat any meal here. You will not be disppointed. We stayed in the rooms here, but the food is what I loved. The main building is lovely and right in the heart of town. An easy walk to everywhere.

    Elegant dining

    Excellent stay

    We stayed 2 nights at the Inn. We enjoyed the room and looked forward to the great breakfasts. Mary Jo was very helpful with our travels and very organized. We loved the location and would definitely stay there again.

    Very good, but not particularly creative

    As others have said, it is difficult to get attention when arriving, and we had to go back into the restaurant to find someone to seat us. However, we were comfortable at our table, and it certainly wasn't too noisy for us to converse well....More
