The inn is very charming and well kept. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always checking on guests' comfort. The afternoon tea and goodies left out for guests is such a nice touch in the afternoon. Plenty of sitting space with fireplaces, books, games, glasses of wine. We loved walking out the front door to find ourselves on Thames street with boutiques and restaurants.
