The Inn is great but the breakfast and afternoon tea was the best, home cooked food that made the difference
Marc, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Our stay at The Primrose was absolutely amazing! We were greeted after a long drive to complementary wine and a tour of the beautiful Primrose before settling in for the night. Our room was very clean and comfortable, it really did feel like home. Breakfast each morning was delicious and our room had a private spot on the porch to drink our coffee that overlooked the pollinator garden there, we saw so many hummingbirds! Another perk was tea time snacks starting at 2pm, we absolutely loved the desserts and coffee! Truly a gem right near the heart of town!
