Quiet historic Inn and town. Love sitting on balcony to appreciate the birds, Revolutionary Cemetery and ancient trees. In town Enrico's Brick Oven has delicious gourmet pizza and icy cold Sangria. Inn provides delicious coffee and fresh baked pastries. Only comment is, pet fee is a reasonable $25 but the pet room; altho clean and quiet, in sore need of upgrade in bathroom and floor carpet. We've stayed here 4x a year for over 20 years and love the ambiance and character.

Went there for a wedding, so only 1 night. Staff was great. It’s a historic inn, so older. Stayed in the motor lodge portion which also has an older feel. I think that is expected. Everything was clean and in good shape. Food was excellent
