Delicious Dining Experience

“I had a wonderful dinner in the restaurant where the menu showcased gourmet chef specials. Our server was friendly and made our experience enjoyable.

Charming Room with Historical Touches

“When I entered our room, I was thrilled to see the beautiful historical decor and the amazing clawfoot tub. The room felt more like a home than a hotel and had charming colonial touches that made it special. I especially appreciated the cozy atmosphere created by the comfortable chairs.” view full review

Unique Bathing Experience

“I enjoyed the uniqueness of having a clawfoot tub in my bathroom. Even though the shower design was a little peculiar with a curtain less setup, the tub itself was perfect for a relaxing soak after a long day. It felt luxurious and added to the character of the accommodations.” view full review

Comfortable Dog-Friendly Environment

“Traveling with my dog, I was delighted by the dog-friendly facilities available. The garden-level room came with its own patio area, making it easy to attend to my pet's needs while also enjoying the lovely garden views. There were plenty of shaded areas along the river for a comfortable outdoor experience.” view full review
