The house and rooms have been nicely remolded and updated, though sound does still travel a bit too easily between the rooms, so I might avoid it if it’s a busy night. The fireplace in our room (The Turret Suite) was plenty to keep the room warm despite the draft you could feel if sitting near one of the old windows. The main room is not very brightly lit, but the sitting room has plenty of windows to let in the morning light if you want to sit around and read a book. You need to duck to enter the bathroom, but it opens up after you enter. However, the shower is a bit cramped, so if you like long baths or showers, choose a different room.
We stayed 3 nights and Breakfast each morning was a great spread of fresh fruits, above average granola, some kind of bread/muffin/scone, and a hot dish to fill you up. Though with only one hot dish option each morning, if you are a picky eater you might not fair so well. While the bread, granola, and fruit option were always great (the fruit was nicely ripe, even in December), the hot options varied from fine to good to great, but always filled you up.
Sherry and Port were available in the main house all the time along with cookies, cheeses, and sometimes chocolates in the evenings. While home baked in their ovens, the cookies are not made fresh every day, and the cheese spreads varied each night in quantity and quality (the cheeses were great our first night, and then had smaller selections the remaining nights, while fresh cookies were put out the second night).
There are two houses, so be aware if your room is in the main house or not. Both are great, but if you are in the Buford house you’ll need to walk across the back parking lot for breakfast or afternoon treats. View Reviewer Info
