"I would go back and enjoy their lovely property, but would only request an upper level room."

7.0

The property is lovely. Very charming and pretty to walk around. It has a nice stone-tiled courtyard with a gazebo and seating area. And they offer a complimentary happy hour in their main building. It was cozy with the fireplace lit and many of the guests came to participate. The on site parking is also convenient and there is no additional charge. I also liked that the rooms are situated in a variety of small buildings and cottages around the property, which makes it feel private and special.

The walls are extremely thin in the room we stayed in - the sound travels easily and was unfortunately quite disruptive. We were in a ground level room in the Hibiscus House. The guests above us were awake in the middle of the night and the sound of their walking and talking was very loud in our room. My friend and I were awake from 4am-7am, when the guests above us finally left. Would have given a higher overall score if not for this one issue. We had bad luck that our neighbor was active so early, but some structural modifications might also help.

"A great choice for downtown!"

9.0

The room was spacious and the grounds are beautiful. It’s very close to downtown. There’s also a lovely restaurant and lots of comfortable sitting areas.

Room decor is a bit dated though in good condition.

Excellent all over! Kianna was super friendly and helpful in helping with my booking. I also went during off season, so the rates were relatively affordable.
