This was the second time I stayed at the Farmhouse Inn and had a great time. It is in a beautiful location and the restaurant is awesome (make sure to make a reservation). I would have given it a better review, but I had a little problem with the room and some of the service, not enough to keep me away, but just enough to make my recent stay not as perfect as I would have liked.
The room I booked was really cute and it had great ammenities, I loved the fireplace and the heated bathroom floors. The spa tub was just awesome.
I just have a few observations or complaints, which has mainly to do with my expectations based on the cost of the room per night.
First of all, if you want complete silence, do not book room 12. There are stairs that are just outside the room and it gets very loud in the room when they are being used. Keep in mind that it is an Inn and there are not a lot of people using the stairs, but when you are hoping to sleep in and you are woken to stomping at 7:30am it kind of ruins the experience.
The other thing that kind of rubbed me the wrong way was the lack of communication with the housekeeping staff. I booked a reservation at the spa (best massage in a very long time and worth every penny) and at the restaurant through the front desk and I expected that housekeeping would be coordinated with the reservations. Instead, I had housekeeping knocking on my door at the most inopportune times.
Keep in mind that my complaints have to do with the price point of the rooms. I would not really care about these things, but based on how much I was paying per night I had a much different expectation. I still had a great time and would recommend it to friends, especially the restaurant.

Thanks for the great feedback! And, you'll be glad to know that we've just installed sound cancelling treads on the stairways in the Barn. We're glad to report that you can clomp up those stairs in stilettos now and it can't be heard in the rooms. And I am sorry about the housekeeping intrusions. We're working on a better system for that too. I do hope we'll see you again soon.
