Hacklewood Hill Country House
We felt like we were in an old elegant country house from another time. Very enjoyable with top notch service. Our dinner was excellent.

The Hub Boutique Hotel
Service and price were good, but found the room less than ideal. Having a huge somewhat noisy fan above the bed rather than air conditioning made it difficult to sleep, there was no hot water when I arrived in the middle of the afternoon and the mattress was on the hard side.
