This is what the pursuit of excellence looks like. Of its many positives, the ultimate is the staff and service, which was flawless and unparalleled in my experience. Everyone from the front desk, valet, housekeeping, restaurant, etc were exceptional. The Inn and rooms are charming and immaculate and not at all dated. The food and wine were wonderful. There are extremely thoughtful touches absolutely everywhere. Complimentary morning coffee/tea /juice delivered in a basket to your door in a basket at your requested time each morning with a sweet treat, Valet, Ice bucket filled upon arrival and refreshed each morning, Bottled water provided in the room. etc. A few caveats for consideration, I understand this is an older building and I am noise sensitive but I found the hallway noise level in the main building significant in the early in the morning (another guest door was directly to the left with a supply cupboard directly to the right) My room (a jr. suite) was large and beautiful but the views from the bedroom of this room were unsightly (the gorgeous bath had the view of a cherry tree in full bloom which was lovely). When, not if, I return I may consider the cottages which are located approximately 1/4 mile from the main building but on the other hand I very much loved having the restaurants and spa as well as the sitting room with the fireplace so close at hand.
