We stayed in one of the Carriage rooms and found it to be wonderful! Our room was clean, quiet and tastefully decorated. There is definitely a feeling of history in this building which adds to the experience. We had a delicious breakfast at the Willow Room restaurant, which we will be recommending to our friends.

We stayed for our anniversary weekend. The property is lovely, the staff were great and the burger at the restaurant was amazing.
Only tip, if booking carriage house room 5 - it’s a nice room but noisy as it’s right above the lobby and next to the stairs. You hear everything- including cleaning staff shouting up to see what rooms are ready.

The room was nice. The bed was comfy. The bathroom was freshly renovated. The restaurant downstairs is to die for. The only drawback was that the Wifi was a little slow. The television featured Netflix but because the internet was too slow we never got it to work. Luckily we brought a laptop and got Netflix up on that instead.

Great spot for our relaxing little trip
We enjoyed our stay. The bed was super comfortable and the room was nice and dark. And very quiet. We would definitely go back again. The restaurant was closed for dinner, but we went for breakfast and it was excellent as well.
