The Inn at the Babcock House

Beautiful place with a lot of history and friendly staff.

Lovely old house. Attentive staff. Close to wonderful 10/10 Mexican ‘Taco Wagon’!

Nothing

The innkeepers were very clear with instructions about what to do if they were not at home when we arrived. Brilliantly, the code for the front door was the last four numbers of the phone we used when booking. They were at home, so we got a warm welcome, a tour of the property and an offer of assistance with bags. There are coffee and tea machines upstairs and down. The rooms are beautifully decorated in the style of the Nineteenth Century when the original house was built, but the bathrooms are fully up to date. Breakfast was delicious. Course ground grits beat any roadhouse fare, and the fruit-and-yoghurt starter was fresh and tasty. Charles is the chef, while Talia serves. On the morning of our one-day stay, there were no other guests, but the comment books in each room attest to the pleasure all visitors have in their stays. Take some time to walk around the town.

We asked for a quiet room, and "Rebeka" on the second floor was certainly quiet and had a garden view. However, we could instead have asked for a ground-floor room or one with a larger bed. Those choices would have improved our comfort.

Location was good. Breakfast was excellent and beautifully presented. Bed was very comfortable. Hosts were lovely.

This is more constructive feedback than the question suggests: Perhaps a little more attention to detail. Eg Hand towels were clean but had completely lost their fresh appearance ie grey. Yellow stains under the toilet seat. A musty smell which took a little getting used to - old house though!
