The old buildings are beautiful, and each room is unique. The room was unusually shaped but adequate space for bed, table, TV, bathroom, closet. The common areas left for guests to use are charming and comfortable, stocked with tea, coffee, and water.

Needed to go back and forth to the main, check-in, building to obtain extra body wash, ice, and get the linen service set right. Overall, it was a great experience and would come back. We ate our evening meals on the patio area in front of the carriage house. Very peaceful behind the buildings.
