“The Inn strikes me as a mixed bag; while the paddock-to-plate dining philosophy and support for local farmers appeal, some reports mention cramped rooms and closed amenities, which gives me pause. Its advertised family-friendly vibe seems inconsistent with reports of a dilapidated playground, leaving me uncertain about recommending it for a family getaway; still, the event spaces could be a draw for larger gatherings.”
