Beautiful Lodge with the Nicest Lodge Host

Beautiful Lodge with the nicest Lodge Host / Management. Rooms are very clean, updated and very comfortable bed. The surrounding area is very beautiful and has a great downtown with wonderful shopping and eating. I was here on business to get away from the city and relax. Can't wait to come back and bring the family for a vacation.

Great Comfortable stay.

It was a great and comfortable stay. It was spacious, clean,organize and calm stay. We were at the very end with our pug,so we had a great time in a private space and quietness. The bed was comfortable and we slept great. The weather was cold,but thankfully there is a heater! If we needed small snacks and necessities, thankfully theres a small market. Sadly, the diners are close, but there are great places nearby for food-like in Felton. The patio was nice,but cold for our trip at moment. The location was good (in the mountain forest and close to the sea in 30mins-perfect)Overall, it was a great and comfortable stay! We'll be back next time again.

Big comfy rooms

The rooms were big and the beds very comfortable. The hotel had live music from 7-10pm. The man checking us in wasn't having any of our friendliness, but the checkin itself went quickly.

Rich in history and natural beauty

The history alone is enought to check this place out. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and the bed was super comfortable. Very peaceful. The area is so beautiful and refreshing. My only complaint is that the coffee in the room was terrible, and that only mattered because there is no where to walk and buy your own. I can't wait to come back. I was assured that the great hall is under restoration, but that obtaining permits and making it happen is a slow process. I love places that have rich history. Im very glad that after the 2020, fire its open again to experience that history.

Jodie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The diner on the property was very good for breakfast. Unfortunately, it closed at 5 so we didn't get to eat supper there. It is an older hotel but has been kept up with. The bed was comfortable and the room and bathroom were clean. It was a big room with a balcony. They accommodated a late checkout for us.

Robert, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was large but there was no table or sofa. Our room was on the second floor and there was no elevator so to get to our room there was 4 flights of stairs. Other than that it was quiet and relaxing. The bar was good and the live music fun.
