We have had a few family events at the Tara and have never been disappointed. We love how the staff dresses, how kind they are and service as a whole. It is pricey but the money is worth it. There are soooo many interesting things to see both in and outside!

Wow, A step into the past. The place has a Nastalgic look of the 1800s, a beautul flower garden a dining setting that is cozy and unique, and the rooms ..wow. a little pricy for the rooms but well worth the experience. The food is good but most of all, it's the atmosphere .
