Porters at The Birchwood Reviews
Comfortable room and a warm, welcoming tavern with delicious food.
My husband and I had a fantastic stay at the Birchwood Inn and an equally fantastic meal at the Porters Tavern. Our hostess Amy was friendly and accommodating. The room was amazing! We stayed in the Royal Bath room which is the entire front face of the building on the second floor. It was lovely. Breakfast was provided in our room (cereal fruit yogurt). I really hope to get back there again!
Staying at the Inn on a Saturday. Asked what time the tavern was open until, after having an early dinner there. We were told "open until 9pm"...Went in at 8:15 for a nightcap, and were told that they were closed because it was slow, while other patrons were still at the bar...it was our 23rd Anniversary.
