    Policy

    Reservation Policy

    • Check in: 3:00 P.M.    Check out: 11:00 A.M.

    • Minimum stay: JULY-AUGUST-3 NIGHTS; OCTOBER-2 NIGHTS ON WEEKENDS & HOLIDAYS

    • Deposit amount required: A full deposit is required for one-night stays. A 50% deposit is required for two nights or longer stays.

    • Cancellations: Because of our small size, cancellations affect us significantly. A last-minute cancellation leaves little chance of filling the reserved space. For this reason, the Inn maintains a strict cancellation policy. Deposits will be refunded only if notice is received by our office no less than 14 days (30 days in July and August) prior to the intended date of arrival. A service charge of $50.00 per room will be deducted from the deposit. Guests who check out before the last day of the reservation will be required to pay for the days reserved in full. We realize that situations may arise necessitating cancellation within the 14 day limit (30 days in July and August), and do sympathize, however we must maintain our business policy due to limited season and high accommodation demands. A partial refund may be possible only if we are able to re-book the room(s). We must have a deposit on all rooms in order to guarantee the reservation.

    What a fabulous place! Warm and friendly. Delicious breakfast both mornings. Our stay in the Roosevelt suite with jacuzzi and fireplace was way beyond our expectations. I think I need to spend my birthday here every year!

    We got very lucky in planning a last-minute get-away before the holiday craziness began. This inn is absolutely gorgeous! The atmosphere was welcoming and the innkeeper and his staff very friendly and helpful. We were very pleased with the entire visit including watching the birds and squirrels from our table in the dining room over breakfast -- it is sometimes the simple things which we respond most to!

    We were looking for a place for a short, pre-Thanksgiving getaway. Devonfield Inn was recommended by friends; it turned out to be exactly what we were looking for. Bruce and Ronnie were excellent hosts and made our stay most enjoyable.
