Children Policy
Children under the age of 6
It is our best hope to be a family friendly inn. We welcome your children but ask that they are consistently supervised to keep noise and activity to a minimum so as to avoid disturbing our guests on romantic or peaceful vacations. Please accept advance notice that our homes are filled with treasured antique furniture and accessories. Our grounds have beautiful but potential harmful features such as fountains, a pond and access to main roadways. Any damage, complaints or disruptive actions from children will be the full responsibility of the parent. We do not provide nor have the space for high chairs in our dining room. Seating is family style and may not be appropriate for toddlers and infants. Children over the age of 4 are more easily managed in the dining room area. We also do not provide cribs or pack and plays.
Thank You for your understanding.
