Everything about this place, from check in, to the room, to the breakfast, to the on site restaurant, is absolutely special. Customer service is paramount here, and we were received with such kindness and warmth that I will never forget this place. I have stayed in many places over the years, and this is by far my favorite.

Quaint, clean property with easy parking, and cozy, wood-paneled dining room. We had dinner on the earlier side (drinks, salad, entrees all outstanding with great service to match) and took a scenic evening stroll by Thames Parkway. Ended the night with a movie on Netflix (included), and the next morning enjoyed a lovely brunch spread of fresh fruit, pastries, smoked salmon, bacon, eggs, and potatoes. Did not have time to try the spa services, so can't comment there, but maybe next time. Would definitely stay here again!
