I'm sorry to hear that the Prince Alfred room was such a disappointment to these guests. Their apparent feeling that we misrepresented the room in our photos could not be further from the truth, however. First of all, one of the windows (actually an antique pocket window that provides access to the balcony) was temporarily fitted with a frame and air-conditioner because we were experiencing an air-conditioning problem in our building and their room was particularly affected by it due to the tremendous amount of sunlight that hits the room, particularly through that window. I'm guessing that these folks would have been complaining even more vigorously had they not had sufficient A/C during their stay. Drab little room? Prince Alfred is not our largest room, but it certainly isn't drab. It is beautifully covered in hand crafted "Bradbury & Bradbury" wallpaper, including a dado and frieze that looks just as stunning in person as it does in the pictures. Most guests do want a TV in their room, but we are always happy to pull it if it is requested. I really don't know how to respond to the "Sysco!" comment. I'm not sure why a guest would care what company we purchase our food from, unless they work for Sysco. Finally, I regret that these folks didn't get the personal attention from my wife and me that they were hoping for. We were most certainly at the inn every day they stayed with us, personally hosting breakfast every morning and afternoon tea most days. I'm guessing that they chose to eat breakfast in our "intimate" dining room, where we purposely allow guests more privacy with bistro tables than the more social "big" table dining room where I was hosting breakfast every morning.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post a review of our inn. I'm glad you found our accomodations to your liking. I was a little surprised by your comment about our breakfast, however. I'm sorry you didn't find our dining up to your expectations. I'm not sure what we served during your stay back in 2005, but I can assure you that our breakfasts are prepared from scratch each day in our kitchen with the freshest ingredients possible (including locally "grown" farm fresh eggs).
