Our family has gone to the Public House for over 30 years. This time, the lights in our room went off in the middle of the night. When I discussed this with the front desk agent when checking out, the response was lackluster. I had hoped for something more than "we will have the maintenance people look at it." I have never had anything but positive experience there in the past; this time the experience makes me never want to return.

It is a historic property. It has beautiful grounds and really authentic buildings. However the rooms where I was staying did not have and he made service unless you requested it and the shower was extremely hard to regulate. Most uncomfortable was the fact that ice was not readily available. One had to walk quite a ways to get to it.
