 This expanding inn now has three adjacent sites and comprises two very good quality motor inn type accommodations and a recently converted old farm barn, with plenty of parking. Located beside Route 7 just 1½ miles south of Williamstown, it is a delightful spot, set back from the road, with rocking chairs on the veranda overlooking the stream, landscaped gardens and a gazebo. Here the en suite rooms have either 2 double beds or a king. The old farm buildings next door house the restaurant - arguably the best eating in town - and a selection of large luxury B & B suites with antiques, some with king beds and canopies, double whirlpool baths and upscale amenities. Across the road is the swimming pool and the duck pond - with ducks. Here there are rooms with 2 queen beds, and the Sweetheart room has a queen canopy bed and whirlpool bath for two. Upstairs is a one bedroom apartment with a queen bed, full kitchen and bathroom, a queen sofa bed in the living room and sliding door onto a small deck and stairs down to the lawn. A continental breakfast is included and the luxury suites have a three course candlelit breakfast. For the luxury suites children over 15, otherwise all children are welcome and children under 8 are free. |
