The Barksdale House was wonderful! Very accommodating. The breakfast was made fresh to order and they had a very nice wine social every afternoon. Ample parking in back was so convenient and it was located within walking distance to everything. A great B & B and would definitely recommend it.

Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. HOWEVER, cockroaches, broken sink stopper, non responsive help staff. Stay in main building if you dare to stay here…not the Carriage House
Such a charming and atmospheric place! The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. We stayed for a couple of days with my son and had a wonderful experience. Thank you!
This hotel was so charming and beautifully decorated. Location was great, we walked to everything. The breakfast was excellent. There was also coffee, tea and snacks available all day. The staff was very nice and helpful.
