5 out of 5Perfect Two-Night Getaway
July 24, 2012
We spent 2 nights in the Rose Room on our annual "honeymoon". Everything was perfect - despite the drizzly weather in the mornings. Coffee and breakfast on the balcony watching the birds and listening to the gentle rain was very relaxing. A lovely pool is available, but we were busy with other outings. Our hosts even provided bicycles so we could explore on our own in the afternoon. The tree-sculpture tour is well worth the time! And the beach is easily within riding distance. The Bishop's Palace can be seen from the balcony and is within walking distance. We enjoyed sitting in the media/living room and looking out the huge windows. Pam was just a phone call away if we needed anything, but gave us our privacy and quiet most of the time. The cat was also very welcoming but not overwhelming - just perfect. The service and facilities are flawless.

We recently spent 3 nights in the Oleander Room. The Garden Inn is charming, the owners are attentive and the king size bed was very comfortable. We opted to get breakfast out (which was an option here) and that worked well as we were visiting family. We had hot coffee outside our room each morning and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend!
