The Ballard Inn, A Kirkwood Collection Hotel

Quaint small Bed and Breakfast with lovely downstairs sitting rooms, board games etc. Breakfast was great with freshly baked muffins and bagels and one freshly made egg item. The room was large, very comfy beds, nice antique furniture and decorations. Nice atmosphere all around. We will come again!

Nothing, really. The bathroom is quite dated, but clean, It is a small place, so we understood that the reception was not always manned. There was an emergency phone number, though, in case needed.

location, comfort and room. Staff were very pleasant and accommodated a slightly early check in

They did not serve breakfast, as we were told they would when we checked in. There was no reason given , accept that a staff member had slept late!

Cute, quaint and perfectly located near wine tasting.Quiet peaceful setting. I enjoyed the complementary glass of wine and cheese.

Some road noise during the day

It is beautiful and old. A lot of character.

The rooms are so hot. You cannot control the heat. I slept with the windows wide open all night and yet as very hot it spent the whole night awake. Also regarding the free breakfast. It used to be wonderful with a little menu and a few choices. It is now 1 item, that’s it.. Angel the chef is so talented. He has been there a long time and used to make the best breakfasts. I spoke to him and he said the property was bought outlast summer ‘25 and the new owners want conformity so hence the crappy breakfast. His hands are tied. He is so good but is unable to use his skills. They make him make this one crappy thing. I won’t stay again unless they can make the rooms self controlling with the temperature… and also not until they return the breakfast to the same level it was just a year ago. They may be saving money but I would rather pay more and have a nice simple breakfast such as the smoked salmon on bread and cream cheese. It was wonderful and now? A couple of fried eggs with cauliflower… I mean really? And no choices. Angel is amazing. I think he needs to go and work in a kitchen that will actually use his lovely skills. So great… the new owners have conformity. They have brought all 3 restaurants down to the same level rather than raising them up.
