I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The large gas fireplace in the Richardson room created a cozy ambiance, though the bed was a bit firm for my liking. The service was top-notch, with charming and attentive staff making sure all our needs were met. The location was ideal, being close to shops and restaurants yet peaceful. The dining experience was fantastic, with a delicious 3-course dinner and a delightful breakfast buffet. The facilities were great, and the modern bathroom was a standout feature.

The staff ensured we had the best hotel experience during our one-night stay. The dining experience was fantastic with a variety of delicious dishes.
The hotel is located in a quieter part of town, just down the street from the charming Charles. The rooms are bright and cheery, with antique furnishings including a 4 poster canopy bed, decorated in a comfortable style. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful, going as far as booking a couples massage for us at their sister property's spa. The location is perfect for strolling through town, with stunning views from the upper veranda. The dining experience consisted of delicacies, with lovely ingredients perfectly cooked. The facilities are well-equipped for a comfortable stay.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with a few ups and downs. The Safari Room I stayed in was very well appointed and comfortable, but the 'Renoir Room' had a fairly strong musty odor that was a bit off-putting, especially in the morning. The service ranged from going out of their way to be accommodating to being a bit condescending at times. The location, however, was excellent, providing a quieter setting away from the touristy hustle. The dining experience was satisfying overall, and the facilities met my expectations.
My stay at the hotel was delightful with spacious and comfortable rooms featuring a fantastic old original fireplace. The 4-poster canopy bed added a touch of luxury, although it could be a bit awkward for taller guests. The attentive service and elegant location made my experience truly enjoyable, even though the main road proximity could get a bit noisy at times.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were quite spacious, but unfortunately, there was a noticeable musty odor that was off-putting, especially in the mornings. On the bright side, the room had a cozy fireplace and luxurious bedding that added a touch of comfort.
The Poppy Room had a huge fireplace and an attached large veranda, providing a cozy atmosphere. However, the room was very small for the value, offering limited seating, with a dirty carpet and a non-functional bedside lamp.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of delights and letdowns. The rooms were extremely small but cozy, featuring a grand gas fireplace, a wide-screen TV above, and a Juliet balcony with a view of the golf course and shoreline, making the space ideal for relaxation.
The hotel's rooms were superb, with a little porch perfect for morning coffee and varying in size, especially on short notice. The service was superb, with an amazingly comfortable King size bed, lovely sitting area, modern bathroom, and delightful dining options. The location was perfect, just a short stroll from the town center and within walking distance of all the activity on Queen Street. The dining experience was exceptional, offering special dishes and fresh coffee. The facilities provided a great experience overall.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were exceptionally clean and well-furnished, but the sunflower room was too small to comfortably move around with our suitcases. The service was outstanding, with staff who genuinely cared about us as guests. The location was convenient, close to the village and offering a pleasant view of the golf course. The dining was delightful with gourmet breakfast items, though the room size left something to be desired.
The hotel has beautifully appointed rooms with a king-sized bed and a huge jacuzzi, offering modern amenities while retaining its historic charm. The rooms are individually decorated, each with its own unique charm. The size is great with a nice sitting area, really comfortable bed, and a good bathroom with a freestanding shower. However, the price could be on the higher end for some travelers.
My stay at this hotel was fantastic! The rooms were a little small but clean and one of the best I've experienced worldwide in terms of food quality, preparation, presentation, and service.

The service is warm and unpretentious, with staff sharing dining recommendations and treating guests with pride. The location is perfect for exploring the area's attractions, just steps away from the bustling downtown area.
The hotel exceeded my expectations in many ways but fell short in others. The rooms were not as spacious or well-decorated as I had hoped, but they were spotlessly clean and offered a pleasant view of the golf course. The service was fantastic, with the staff being extremely friendly and helpful, even arranging a shuttle for us. The location was ideal, within walking distance of shopping, golf, and restaurants but still quiet enough for a peaceful stay. The dining experience was exceptional, with delicious options included, making it a definite highlight of the stay.
I had a delightful stay at the inn. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff provided top-notch service akin to a 5-star hotel. The location was excellent, with easy access to shopping and theaters, and the dining experience was exquisite. However, the noise from the kitchen ventilation system was a minor inconvenience.
