This was our third trip to Christmas Farm Inn in ten years, and it is still a delightful place to spend a few days. Lovely grounds, quiet surroundings, special atmosphere, friendly staff, and a great spa.
There is room for improvement in both environment and service, thought the latter admittedly is more in the communication.
In terms of environment, and specifically at the Carriage House, the furnishings could use a refresh, especially the bathrooms. Pink fixtures with gold trim is outdated and stale. Furniture is heavy and a bit tired. Recognisably, folks may enjoy these features, and they certainly do not detract from the overall experience of the property.
In terms of service, two things to point out to the property and for visitors to note.
It was most disappointing to be turned away from breakfast the morning of check out. While it was clear that dinner reservations were recommended, it was not clear that breakfast reservations were needed as well.
Communication regarding the room servicing could also be improved. We did not realise that room service is only available upon request.
