Entering the front doors of the "Castle Marne", two words come to mind and seem to blend in perfect harmony. Those two words are "timeless" and "treasure". A timeless treasure is exactly what the "Castle Marne" is and will always be. From the moment you step in the front door you are treated like a long lost family member. The "Castle Marne" staff goes above and beyond the call of duty. Any question you have about the area, they give you a true and honest answer, and if they don't know the answer they will find someone who does. If you are looking for where the "locals" eat, and want to avoid the national chains, the staff can recommend you numerous quality places in the area, and many within walking distance! They even have a stash of menus from the local eateries to help you decide. The afternoon teas and snacks along with the evening tea and cookies are beyond amazing! You MUST make time in your schedule to indulge in these events, it made our whole trip! We often seem to rush around and not notice the little things in life. Taking in the atmosphere of the "Castle Marne" along with the wonderful treats is the ultimate relaxation of the senses as far as we're concerned. The breakfasts are beyond justifiable description and are an absolute must. I didn't ask about the menu as far as whether it is rotating or decided on a whim, but the food is truly exceptional. We enjoyed broccoli and cheese quiche one morning, chile rellanos the next, and wrapped our trip up with wonderful Belgian waffles. Fresh baked muffins accompanied the main dish each morning and each morning there were new muffin options. The egg nog muffins topped with a cinnamon and nutmeg were incredible! Tea, coffee, and juice is available as a beverage choice. We have never stayed at a bed and breakfast but are now hooked since staying at the "Castle Marne". Words cannot describe our stay and we will most likely be back VERY soon. Thank you, thank you, thank you "Castle Marne", you are a true gem to the hospitality industry! Oh...we almost forgot to mention our room! Our room was an oasis! The claw-foot tub was extremely relaxing as well as the bed! The bed was topped with a feather bed and very comfortable pillows, we think that they were gel based. We fell asleep every night in extreme relaxation! We almost missed our flight on the last day because we were so cozy! Again, don't pass the "Castle Marne" up...it is a pure delight!
