We spent 1 night in the Colonel's Suite. The receptionist on duty when we arrived wasn't very welcoming. It seems that we interrupted her meal as she was eating a bowl of pasta at the check in desk. She told us it was only her 3rd day. The room was okay, but a few small details could make it so much better. We had the Colonel's Suite ($356 CDN for 1 night), which had a room with a king bed, small bathroom, and then a separate sitting area which was accessed through the bathroom. The bedroom had one lamp for the whole room, and only one bedside table. It would be pretty easy to provide more lighting, and an additional bedside table. King bed was firm, but comfortable. The shower head needs attention as it has mildew - I did let the receptionist who checked us out know about this. She was far friendlier than than the Saturday person. The biggest missing thing was tea or coffee making facilities. The inn doesn't offer breakfast at all, so if you want a morning cup of coffee you would have to go and find a local coffee shop. It seems that it is pretty basic hospitality to offer tea or coffee making supplies. We shared this with the check out receptionist who told us that it is a common comment that she has passed on to the proprietors. When you are inn guests you cannot make a dinner reservation in the pub, but they will give you priority to get table. We ate dinner in the inn, the food was satisfactory - not authentically British but ok. We are originally from the UK, so know what to expect from British dishes. We stayed to listen to the band, and found that the sound didn't travel too much to our room as it was over the lobby. The gentleman who was acting as the host that evening was very welcoming, and we had a friendly server who was willing to space out our courses for us while we waited for the band at 9.30pm. Overall a pleasant stay, but nothing special.
