We've been to the inn prior which was nice. Now, simply put, it's in need of a great deal of TLC and updating. And it's very overpriced for the quality of the room. Also, they did not explain that the "breakfast in the dining room" would be a basket of food" on a single table in a room with a sea of tables without a single person in sight. When we complained in the morning, the front desk person's comment was that they're sorry our stay did not meet our expectations - said in a condescending manner. We won't be back.

We spent four nights last week to celebrate my wife’s 60th birthday which was in January. It was our third time staying at the Inn. Our third different room. We stayed in The Lady’s Slipper Suite. My wife couldn’t have been happier. A beautiful room and great staff !!! Thank you for a great stay !!!!!

Rooms are described as 'suites' - I think this is a stretch. A suite to me has a separate seating area. On the positive, the bathroom was huge with a whirlpool bath. The patio and garden are lovely. Breakfast was a little disappointing. It was beautifully presented in a basket but the breakfast sandwiches were past their best.

Our suite was lovely. It turns out the main building was rebuilt (in the old style) after a fire, so everything is nice and fairly new. The furnishings are beautiful and the timer for the fireplace is a nice touch. The breakfast was good too (they will deliver a picnic basket to your room or the dining room). The staff was also very friendly.

Excellant room with a great view. Really enjoyed the breakfast basket concept. The onsite restaurant is definitely first class. Our dinner was amazing!

Resturant on the site was excellent with friendly staff. The choice of entrees was somewhat limited but tasty. The breakfast delivered to our room was so convenient and delicious. They recognized an error from our on-line reservation reservations and corrected it resulting a lower nightly charge. We greatly appreciated me.them doing this. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful in answering our questions or getting us what we needed. We hope to stay there again.

We had a lovely weekend at The Relucatant Panther. The room was perfect. The area was quiet. It was convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. The dinner was scrumptious, and we loved the little basket with breakfast - just enough! The staff at both the desk and the dining room was amazing! We can't wait to come back.

The inn consists of a beautiful old main building with modern bungalow rooms in a garden setting. We stayed in one of the modern additions. The room was very spacious and well-appointed. The bathroom was of a good size and the complimentary toiletries were especially good. There was plenty of space to sit and relax. We went for the in-room breakfast option, which was superb. The inn is in town, on a quiet side street, with lots of dining and shopping options within walking distance.
