“Afternoon tea review -- it is a must during winter!”

Reviewed 2 February 2013

Afternoon Tea in January 2013 -- We ordered tea during a wonderful family dinner on Christmas Eve. I was very surprised to be served on fine bone china, in a china tea pot! It was a welcome change from being presented with a tea bag and lukewarm water. When I remarked on it, and the server told us about their... More

“Resturant Review Only”

Reviewed 8 January 2013

Diner on 1/4/13. Staff and service was outstanding. The meal was slightly disappointing from what we had heard about the food quality. I had the tenderloin which was good (the fingerling potatos and mushrooms were excellent). My wife had the short ribs which were the disappointing part of the meal. Not bad at all - just not very good. Every... More

“Hope to come again”

Reviewed 7 November 2012

I attended a corporate meeting held here recently where a breakfast was served. The fritatta? was ok, but bacon and sausage were really not very good; admittedly these are tough to present in that setting. However the scones, breads and homemade(?) granola were absolutely excellent . Fresh squeezed oj and really good coffee too. The service from everyone was just... More

My wife and I decided to go 'for a drive' without any time frame for travel in mind. We were to join other 'Leaf Peepers' for the fall foilage throughout the New England states. We loaded the car and headed north from PA planning 10-12 days as an estimate. Turned into 18 days with tremendous memories. At the top of... More

What a lovely place! Our room (#11, 3rd floor, full bath) was gorgeous. The bed was firm and comfortable. The public spaces are lavish and inviting. Every single person on staff we encountered was wonderful. I have never felt more welcome at any hotel or B&B. The Chestnut Grille restaurant downstairs was a real pleasure. I can't remember when I've... More

Mu husband took me to the Bee and Thistle Inn for a one night get away to celebrate my birthday. Although our room was small (we booked very last minute) it was still charning and the bed was very comfortable. Our dinner downstairs was outstanding. We also enjoyed after dinner drinks in the living room/parlor of the inn. We were... More
