Tucked neatly amidst a bevy
of Barn shops where craftspeople display
authentic wares and works of art, the hotel exudes colonial charm and
comfort. Come here for the ambiance of crackling fires and furnishings
meticulously chosen to reflect a certain way of life- Queen Anne
furniture, brass chandeliers, Oriental rugs, and original paintings.
Even the deluxe guest rooms and suites have been choreographed to promote this aura of serenity and luxury. Anticipate spending time in front of your own private hearth, surrounded by English chintz and crystal. Of course, all the modern amenities are on hand as well, from Jacuzzis to climate control.

served an authentic European-plus breakfast in the inviting hospitality
room. Afternoon tea takes place in the elegant lobby where, in season,
a constant fire blazes. Dinner translates as gourmet fare at one of the
area's nearby restaurants, such as the Dilworthtown
Inn or Pace One.
