An historic inn, comprised of five buildings set on an acreage of rolling hills, this complex has the potential to become a scenic, attractive facility. Currently it is not.
We paid extra for what was advertised as a room with a scenic view of the surrounding country side. The corner room was very large and was on the ground floor. It had three windows on the long wall and one on the short. Out of the first two windows beside the bed, all that could be seen was an 8' high and 12' wide electrical transformer. The next window offered a nice view until trucks and trailers were parked in front of it (from 3 pm until 8 am both days we were there). The remaining end window offered a view of a busy street.
The bed was very comfortable but the chesterfield and chair were extremely old, dilapidated and uncomfortable. One of the lamp shades was absolutely filthy. After running the hot water for close to 15 minutes, the water was barely warm, certainly not warm enough for a shower. The bath tub was very old and badly stained.
The complimentary breakfast was better than many other facilities we have staid in. Taking the long walk to where it was served sure worked up an appetite.
The parking area was a long walk from the room and the entry way to the building was anything but attractive.
It was early spring when we were there, but there was very little in the way of attractive garden areas or areas set aside for shrubs, flowers, etc.
