This boutique (meaning charming if lacking some basics) hotel is a commendable effort to make a heritage store into a special experience. On that account it largely succeeds, but needs some attention to details. It is likely the tag end of the season so staff were not often present. There is a number to call if one needs anything. What we needed, but I didn't discover until to late, (r too early to call) is that there is no reading lamp for the nice armchair. (It' a perfect place to lose yourself in a great book). The only, small side table is wanting glue and a screw. They did though provide us on request an extra straight back chair and allowed me to park my fishing waders in the utility room. Mary deserves huge credit for creating something quite charming and much needed. My tiny disgruntlement aside - 76-year-old grouchiness on full display here -. is that this is a special and worthy little hotel experience. Support it and similar efforts to bring a bit of charm and peaceful quiet to those of us seeking that restorative medicine.
