My wife and I spent New Year's Eve and New Year's day at this lovely B&B. With 1 Jan being our anniversary too, we were ready for a special stay here. We had a very nice couple's massage and also joined the New Year's Eve gala that was hosted at the Hillbrooke Inn. Overall,however, we were left unimpressed. We encountered a polite staff but we did not encounter any special or personal touches as so many have mentioned in their reviews. All were good, none were exceptional. The owners try to meet the very high standards they set and their effort is obvious but in the end, I believe they fall short in the value consideration. We spent over $800 for one night that included lodging (The Snuggery), a couple's massage, a 5 course New Year's Eve dinner and an included breakfast in the morning.
To be clear, overall we enjoyed our stay but will not be returning nor will we recommend the place to our friends because we simply do not feel tht what we received is worth the price paid.

We recently returned from a Christmas stay at Hillbrook. It was magical. The highlight was a private dinner with our own chef and waiter. The food is exquisite - fresh, local and prepared perfectly to your liking. The spa is world class. The staff is most attentive and are dedicated to making your stay perfect in every way.

My wife and I returned to Hillbrook for our 20th anniversary after having gone there for a very romantic weekend just before we got engaged (so maybe that visit had some role is us getting here.) It being a weekday in early December we had the place entirely to ourselves and received first-class warm and personal service. My wife had the spa package that included a 45-minute massage, facial and manicure for a reasonable price, and we had the excellent 5-course dinner in the very warm and cozy dining room in front of the fire. Plus, the inn was decorated in a very tasteful and traditional way for Christmas. The many passages and different types of rooms were part of charm, and as a tech junkie I loved the touch of having an iPad and iHome dock in the room amidst the antiques. We are already making plans to come back for our 25th, perhaps with a larger contingent.

We enjoyed an escape evening to Hillbrook. The staff is very nice and attentive. We stayed in the Snuggery, which is exactly as you may suspect in size. However, it was nice and cozy and we enjoyed the Roman Bathtub much more than we would have guessed prior. Our favorite time was playing checkers in the great room prior to dinner, then enjoying some fireplace time after dinner. The dinner itself was very good but the room is a bit tight and does not allow for much ambiance. It may have been due to a full restaurant at the seating that evening. Breakfast the next morning was quite tasty. The grounds are enjoyable to walk around and they are well kept.

We have stayed in some better B&Bs a short drive to the south, but we have no complaints and it was nice to try a new place. I would definitely stay in a suite next time or one of the cottages. They are pricey but probably worth it.
