In the small town of Bayfield, this is a great place to stay. It's cozy, well maintained and easy to access. This is our second time staying there--everything was quick and easy. We're looking forward to trying their new bistro next time we're visiting.

Outside a small country town (definitely need a car), so you can't walk to it, but there's an amusing trail on the property. They have a good charger for electric cars.

We had a great stay at the Ashwood Inn. Our room was larger than expected (the king suite), clean, and had everything we needed. The staff were helpful with any questions we had and the Indian restaurant was excellent. We will definitely be back again.

The room itself was fairly clean, but it had a strong mildew/mold smell, so we had to sleep with the window open. The property feels very dated for the price, and our main concern was the possible presence of mold. That said, it served its purpose for a one-night stay while attending a wedding, and the staff was very pleasant.
