We loved this place, both because it was lovely and because the inkeepers were very hospitable and friendly. The house is a classic victorian pile with lovely porches both upstairs and downstairs. The parlors are fantastic dark wood and seem to go on for miles.
The inn keepers, especially Daphne went out of their way to make us feel at home. We were going to a reunion /family wedding they fielded dozens of calls, gave me pain killers when I needed them (for my hung-over husband) .
