The Old Inn on the Green arvostelua

As UK tourists travelling around New England this is an unusual hotel to stay in Recommended by US friends who had dined here some while ago but more importantly not stayed The main Residence is the dining area for dinner while our room was in a separate old house .This has steep stairs to the upper rooms something we were aware of so left our large suitcases in the car overnight There are 5 bedrooms of differing size and appearance and 2 communal sitting rooms downstairs mainly unused The room itself follows the decor of the age of the house -don’t expect tech and adjustable heating/ AC -only a few windows actually can be opened In fact it took a call to the main house to turn down the ceiling heat vent- centrally controlled -which was slowly roasting us - as a result the bathroom was cold in the morning There are no facilities in the room for making any hot drinks an amenity we missed the next morning as breakfast is at a small cafe a 10 minute drive away We were provided with a thermos of hot water after dinner after some asking No safe in the room The dinner was excellent -beautifully presented and cooked with a couple of extra tasting treats all enjoyed by candlelight Most of the main food sources from outside the US . Extensive wine list to complement I cannot fault the delicious dinner or service Take a torch with you as the walk back after to the house is very dark Sadly we didn’t check the account that we thought we had booked for our stay that evening so when it was emailed several hours after breakfast we were not able to understand it Several extra charges had been added and not identified and as as there is NO ONE in the main residence in the mornings to explain ( the place was deserted like the “Marie Celeste” we sent an email asking for an explanation To date we have had no explanation or reply To date we have had NOT had a reply It seems in this area of the US extra charges can be added with no explanation
