Innkeeper Response
Teary's prowess with breakfast is evident by his other reviews and I'm sorry that these guests had a problem with it. In any case, please rest assured that since I have returned to running my inn, I always serve fresh fruit, made-from-scratch delectible main courses, and everything is served hot or cold as appropriate! In addition I've got adequate help and we are happy to welcome and pamper all who stay with us!!

The old home was lovely and the antiques exceptional. The hospitality of our host, Terry, was over the top. His breakfasts are wonderful and the sleeping accommodations more than comfortable, bordering on decadent. We'll be back.
