    We stayed at Grey Gables in 2009...in November I think. We absolutely loved it and have stayed in two other B&B's since. Bill and Linda were soooo sweet and they took such good care of us. The food was wonderful and plentiful. We loved the rooms and hope to stay there again soon. The porch was so relaxing. My ONLY suggestion would be a new mattress.

    A little piece of heaven on earth

    The early Victorian lifestyle of rugby is a theme carried out in this delightful bed & breakfast. The food is unsurpassed and Linda and Bill are both the perfect host & hostess.

    My husband & I just spent a weekend at Grey Gables and I can't recommend them enough. Linda & Bill are friendly, warm, and sincere people. The inn is beautiful & the setting more-so. The bed was squeaky, but that was minor compared to the spacious room & comfy setting. The food was outstanding & more than enough at each meal. We hope to return to Grey Gables within the next few months. I highly, highly recommend Grey Gables!

    Innkeeper Response
