--*Multi-generational family travelling*-- The 1820's Suite--We've stayed nearby before, but staying IN TOWN was a whole new experience. Waking up and walking out onto the patio right to high street was such a treat with the morning light. I loved being able to disconnect as there was no T.V. or phone in the room. Because we had kids (8 & 12), I was happy to be on the bottom floor because the kids aren't the quietest, but this place is so family-friendly! There are games in the room like pictionary, checkers, mancala, etc. But outside, there were cornhole boards and a tether-tennis game that fit perfectly in the front space, and the kids had a blast. If you've ever traveled around Europe, this place has that same vibe and we loved it! Karan and Glenda were incredible hostesses and were a goldmine of information & conversation. I love the kitchen setup! The marketplace has just about anything you'd need and you can take over the kitchen to cook whatever your heart desires. My kids joked about making a cake, and the ladies said we could if we wanted to and how other people HAVE! She said as long as the hard stuff was scraped, they would take care of the dishes. The location could not be beat; up the hill is the churchyard and Jefferson Rock, and below is the river and train tracks. It's even a neat place just to sit and peoplewatch from if your legs have had it with all the hills/stairs. The kids were ecstatic to find the bunkbed, and my mom said the daybed was really comfortable. My kids got into a spat before bed one night so my daughter moved to the couch and said it was really comfy too! The main, big bed was firm, and there were plenty of blankets to keep everyone cozy. The bathroom was a step down into an old hallway that was closed off, and a wet bathroom put in, which was really neat and super clean. There was an inner staircase for us to go up to the kitchen/reception for our coffee/tea, and the kids loved spotting the old-style keys along the staircase.
