The stairs going upstairs are extremely steep, mostly because the inn was built along time ago. Kathleen was very gracious and helped me with my luggage. It is only one block away from the main street. The B&B itself if very nice, lots of... read more

Innkeeper Response
While we appreciate the positive description of our b&b ("very nice, lots of charm"), we must take exception to the very personal and harsh criticism of Alicia. This guest created an awkward, disruptive situation. She insisted on engaging in and then continuing an inappropriate discussion and in the process managed to clear our breakfast room of all of the guests there who had been enjoying a peaceful, relaxing breakfast. It is tricky to address this type of situation while other guests are around. However, sensing the growing discomfort of our other guests, Alicia said a few times to this particular guest, "Let's not go there" and tried to leave the room. Unfortunately, this guest continued to be disruptive. Our desire is to have a relaxing atmosphere where all of our guests feel welcome and comfortable. In this situation, Alicia needed to steer clear of this guest in order to keep the peace and for the comfort of our other guests.
