"The Bristow's Inn has a wonderful Victorian character. The room and common areas are nicely furnished with period furniture and decorated with local hand made decorations like quilts, signs. The location is good too. While the communication with the owner was clear and prompt, it was always via email or text. We never saw the owner or any staff which makes the stay a bit impersonal. Some guests may prefer the independent stay, we prefer the human contact. That being said, all instructions and signs are very clear and things, including breakfast are easy to find. Breakfast is self-serve, which is a bit unusual in an inn. It had good variety od bagels, muffins, bread, fruit, yogurts and local jams but it did not feel like anything special as you would expect in an inn or B&B. We still had a nice stay and would return."
