First time staying here, this Inn/Hotel is by far the Nicest, Cleanest, Best smelling hotel I have ever stayed at, it was spotless. We were given a third floor room directly over looking ponds with an Otter, lots of fish, and Canadian Geese. I highly recommend this hotel.

The 'little house gallery' inside is adorable. Our room opened out onto it from the 2nd floor. The public sitting area in this gallery was fun and relaxing. Free coffee and microwave and sink right off this sitting area. The Inn grounds and inside and rooms were all well kept. Lovely.
