My wife and I booked the Rosehip suite for two nights, and when we arrived, we had found that we had been given a free upgrade to the Carriage House suite, which had a private entrance and was very tastefully decorated. We also found a personalized plate of chocolates awaiting us in our room, which was a warm and thoughtful... more

Our visit to the Hartstone Inn was truly memorable. From the moment we walked into the foyer, we knew we were in for a special stay. The Inn is decorated impeccably.
