We loved our holiday one night getaway to the Goodstone Inn. The staff (especially Debbie, Amy and Ashley) were wonderful, we loved our suite (the Stallion Suite) and everything about the Inn was perfect. The grounds are beautiful, the history of the inn is interesting, we liked the roaring fire place in the Carriage House, our suite was spotless and had good amenities, the restaurant was delicious, etc. We can't wait to go back, next time possibly in the warm weather to swim in the pool. I especially liked the thoughtful details in our accomodations, such as complimentary soft drinks and bottled water in the room fridge, a Keurig coffee maker, slippers, a half bottle of wine and nice glasses on the dresser, and chocolates. And the bed is very comfortable. The cleanliness and very good condition of our suite was also notable.

A last-minute weekend getaway got off on the wrong foot when the staff informed us that the suite we had reserved only hours before really wasn't available, and that we were being "upgraded" (in reality, just "moved") to the main carriage house. We suspect the real reason was that the original room - which is in a separate building further out on the property - was probably the only one they had rented in that building, and it would require sending housekeeping out to the far corners of the property for only one room.

As a result, we ended up in a ground floor suite that opens onto the main walk into the property. Windows on the back side looked onto the parking lot and service walkway. We had two nights of noise and light (drapes in the room were not blackout drapes, so the light from the outdoor spotlights kept the room very bright). Neither is conducive to sleep. To top it off, what was billed as a queen sized four-poster was actually a double. We know...we have a queen bed at home.

Food and beverage were better, though we did not find the dining room particularly comfortable. The chairs in particular were somewhat saggy and uncomfortable. The room was laid out in a simple rectangle with tables around the perimeter and a row down the middle - about 36 seats in all. Nothing to break up the space and give guests any sense of privacy. The seating in the bar/reception/living room space (take your pick - it serves all 3 purposes) was more comfortable, but while they serve breakfast there, they do not serve dinner. Only appetizers.

Food quality was good, so maybe some of the earlier posts have made a difference. Or maybe it's just an inconsistent kitchen. In any event, our experience was good, though very expensive.

Didn't stay at hotel but had 7 for dinner in restaurant . A very expensive ($900) dinner for average food.

Lamb was over seasoned. Sea bass was over sauced for a delicate fish. Out of creme brûlée for dessert( really?). Onion soup lacked flavor and gruyere cheese. Pear tart for dessert tastes like a dry piece of shortbread and if there was any pear in it, it wasn't obvious. Also, out of orange juice. How can this happen in a top facility?

Attractive dining room in a rural inn but not nearly worth the money for what was received.

There are better restaurants around and unless you are staying at the inn and don't want to drive off property, better to avoid.

I work in the hospitality business and I was very impressed with everything! I was there with a group from the hotel I work at for a Christmas Get Together. The Staff were wonderful and the food was Awesome!! We tried several of the appetizers and all were very good! We all really enjoyed the wine that the waiter suggested to us. Me, as not a wine drinker needed some help choosing which wine would taste the best. The choice that he suggested was PERFECT!! They gave us cheese and crackers to eat while we waited for the rest of our Party to arrive. For dinner I had the "LE CHATEAUBRIAND BOUQUETIER ET SA SAUCE BÉARNAISE". It was amazing!!! The next morning we all got together and had a wonderful breakfast. Again, the staff were all wonderful! I will always remember my stay at the Goodstone Inn and Restaurant. I plan on going back again one day!
