This is an adorable area with old homes that have been turned into rooms for the night or the weekend or the week. However, the air conditioner in the Rochelle room was inadequate. It came on blasting, and then when it went off and you were frozen the room became very, very humid. I think they need to invest in a humidifier. However, it was very quiet and it was very easy to walk to find good food and shopping

Wonderful experience. The rooms were cozy and spotless, and the historical charm made for a very warm and inviting atmosphere. Breakfasts were perfect, and it was such a peaceful experience to have breakfast on the veranda! The garden outside is stunning. You are all amazing! We will definitely return. Thank you, goodbye!"

Most things like bed, the room itself where good, however, I stayed above the main office and could not sleep due to persistent beeping noise comming from downstairs at 4 am. Texed and called the”on call” number and no response. A bit overpriced based on my experience. Staff was very friendly and nice.

We had a nice stay, staff is very friendly and accommodating and good breakfast. We brought our small dog puppy, who finds everything, so one negative was that deep cleans to rooms are needed. I had to move couch and rugs and sweep and clean under covered areas because there was a lot of black dirt, dust, and dog hair- definitely had been there a long time. Also bed in master is difficult to clean under because it is so low to ground and has extra support with plywood and I found a lot under it including someone else’s pill. I worried that there may have been another one that my dog could have eaten so searched online and found was muscle relaxer. We stayed at pet friendly Melrose Cottage and advise if staying with curious puppy or dog to check rooms before letting them down on the floor.

Expensive for units that need TLC
Staff and breakfast were AMAZING! Units are just OK for the price and need more TLC….curtain to outside window of the shower didn’t fully cover the window, underneath a bathroom sink was filthy, Keurig descale light was on, inside of dishwasher was dirty, water tank light in kitchen was on, jacuzzi didn’t work. I did email the office after my stay and received a response.
