Relaxing and exceptional accommodations. Love the historic charm!

8/10 Very good

Our early May stay was in the off-season, so some understandable repair and cleanup operations were in progress. The staff were generally good, friendly and attentive. The restaurant staff are professional and it (The Blue Pig) is very good in quality. There has no doubt been a staff turnover and some of the newer staff members are still in the training process. It’s a great location with a beautiful view and worth giving a look.
