My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this inn more than any of the many of the other inns we have stayed in while traveling throughout New England. Great location, property is in excellent condition, large rooms, beautiful decor, comfortable bedding and seating, super clean, good breakfast, and Diane (owner) has a great attention to the details that matter. We will definitely return.
