A unique repurpose of an existing historic structure that is walkable to town. However, you need to be able to walk the hill in addition to any town walking you do. Everyone is wonderful. Hanna from bistro, housekeeping, front of house all staff were awesome. Again, unique and wonderful.

We loved our stay at the Blackburn Inn. The check in was seamless and the representative was extremely professional and very pleasant. Our only issue was that the floors themselves are pretty noisy when walking across them as well as the noise from the floors above. When we go back, which we will for sure, we will request a room on a higher floor.
