Innkeeper Response
I’m sorry that I was not notified earlier about this review, when I could have responded in a timely manner, but better late than ever. For anyone who has encountered “stink” bugs, you’ll know that this was peak season. Every other year we’ve had an invasion of lady bugs coming out of hibernation (a much more pleasant situation). This was our first year with this insect, and despite as frequent as safety allowed visits from the exterminator and my thrice daily bug hunts, they apparently got ahead of me and I was not made aware. I pride myself on the quality and variety of my breakfasts and serve on warmed plates, so it’s very disheartening to hear about a lukewarm breakfast, knowing that I could have easily remedied the situation, if I’d only been told. As far as the napkins are concerned, the standard green policy on linens is change every three days, unless soiled or change is requested. This is the first complaint I’ve received and instead am very frequently applauded for following the recommendations. I will apologize for all else, except for doors that will not shut or stick, which along with the uneven floor boards, winder staircases and slanted doorways is part of the charm of an inn built in c.1714, with additions in 1749, 1859 and 1969. I am so glad that this guest at least enjoyed our charmer, “Teddy”.

Photo Album

Winterthur Suite-step down into your sunken bedroom with a huge palladian window, flanked by casement windows, overlooking the expansive, beautifully landscaped grounds. The Nina Campbell toile wallpaper extends up to and across the slanted, beamed ceiling. Sink into the featherbed on your queen bed or relax on your overstuffed sofa or antique rocker. Your full bath, includes a deep soaking tub with spa attachment. Many extra little luxuries increase your enjoyment.Facing both the side gardens and the back is the Four Seasons Room-with a step-up, antique four poster "king" bed, two overstuffed chairs, walk in closet with refrigerator and microwave, a modern shower bath and Pierre Deux French toile wallpaper depicting all of the seasons, that somehow immediately relaxes you when you enter the room. Gaze out your oversized windows, to our "mini" Longwood Gardens complete with fountains.
The huge Garden Room/Breakfast Area overlooks the patio, four acres of landscaped gardens and four acres of wooded trails. You'll enjoy your sumptuous candlelight breakfast here each morning, in front of a roaring fire in the walk-in fireplace during our brisk Fall and Winter days. During the Spring and Summer you'll be able to gaze out at the multitude of flowers and the many varieties of birds that come to our birdfeeders. Come back to relax here later in the day.The antique brass queen-sized bed in the Daniel Webster room will immediately catch your eye as will the very realistic flame in the electric firestove insert in the original 1759 mantled fireplace. The shower in the modern bath is large enough to have a party! Multiple antiques will add to your comfort and the room's charm. Don't forget to ask about the intriquing history involving Daniel Webster!
An optional daybed usage along with the 4 poster king bed, allows three to enjoy the General Lafayette room. Adding the optional first floor parlor, turns it into the Up & Down suite. Antiques abound to make this a most charming abode. Sleep to the sound of the garden fountains in the fish pond and reflecting pool outside your windows.The queen-sized antique-spool bed in the John Marshall room, matches the dresser. The original 1749 stuccoed fireplace, now contains a cozy electronic firestove. A full-sized elaborate antique desk allows you to keep up with your travel diary. The adjacent private full bath, overlooks the reflecting pool in the gardens.
Our Music & Game Room with Pumpkin Pine mantles over both fireplaces, encourages lounging with a good book, a lively game of chess or playing the piano, on the other side of the room.
