We stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights and loved it. The bed was firm and very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and had great tips for local activities. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was delicious and cozy.

My husband and I had fun using the pool room. I can't comment on anything else. The free pool table isn't quite billiard size but larger than a bar room table. It's a tucked away spot with a fireplace and seating area, more like a basement lounge. If you are lucky, grab a drink and enjoy the room to yourself.

Had ourselves a beautiful dinner here last night and this place is simply put, magical. The atmosphere is like none other, very old style classic, and beautiful! The food is indescribably delicious and yet homey and cozy. We were lucky enough to eat during a non peak time and had some privacy near the fire and the experience and feeling was just warm and pleasant. I highly recommend anything on the menu again old style classic- doesn’t disappoint!

My daughter and I stayed overnight for her 13th birthday. We, but she most importantly had an amazing time. The food, the accommodations, and the ghost tour was so wonderful. Everyone was friendly, we felt at home and properly spooked. Thank you to Terry for your stories and extra attention for Fiona's birthday. Thank you to our server Jonny for taking good care of us as well. We will definitely be back, the 4+hour drive was well worth it.

This cozy, Scottish themed restaurant is family owned. They seated our party of four quickly, and table service was excellent. The bar has an impressive array of Scotch and other whiskies. My dinner included a seafood stew appetizer that was full of seafood and veggies, and a duck entree with orange glaze with sides of baked potato and green beans. It was done well and tasted delicious. Others at the table had haggis, and a Guinness pie that was stuffed with lamb and veggies. All agreed their meals were great.

Wonderful amazing inn. We loved it here. Old Victorian with some history. Owner is a welcoming hostess. She gave us a history tour of the place. Some ghost stories too. Yes the place is happily haunted. When we arrived and went to our room (number 13), we were greeted by two disembodied voices. A woman and a child. It was quite an experience.
The food here is amazing. The service is wonderful. We loved this place and will stay here again.

Rooms: Rooms are a step back in another era. Love the old Victorian style. It’s decorated perfect. Beds are comfortable.

Safety: Quiet and wonderful neighborhood.

Walkability: Right down the street are shops and restaurants you can walk to. A gorgeous park is right across the street.

Food and drinks: Many restaurants in the area. The Brea Loch Inn has a very popular restaurant with great food and service.

It's a very nice restaurant in a great location. The food is good and so are the drinks. They also occasionally have live music.

The big secret though is, if you’re looking for the pinnacle of sophistication and class, look no further than the basement dive bar of this restaurant. There's nothing quite like the ambiance of sipping your drink in a dimly lit basement during the day—truly the height of class. And then there's the well dressed older gentleman who seems to always be there, maybe he works there, who knows? What we do know is that he definitely adds to the ambiance. Every time we’re there, he’s usually aggressively drunk and has no problem hurling some light-handed insults our way, especially if we dare to play darts. Apparently, someone in his family plays darts in New Jersey, and that means us plebs are dart-throwing-trash! The whole experience is just hilariously charming in its own way. If basement day drinking with a side of gruff, old-people banter sounds like your thing, the basement dive is your adventure.

This place is absolutely amazing
A true Gem in the middle of New York. Great staff, great food, great ghosts.

Don't sleep on the scotch bar downstairs and be sure check out all the great lounge areas around the hotel!

I felt like a second class citizen. Was told I could sit wherever there was a seat outside. When I did I got reprimanded by the waitress and the very same lady who said I could sit anywhere that where I was sitting was for reservations only. When they told me where I could sit not one single person who worked there asked me if I needed anything. However, they all bent over backwards for their chummy friends who were there. Not 1 time was I asked if I needed anything. Not going to be stopping here again.
**Edited to respond to response.....I did order drinks from downstairs. Again, the point you missed was your workers, including yourself, did nothing to provide any type of service to myself but went out of their way to help your friends who were sitting around the firepit without issue. I'm sorry you misunderstood when I stated that your service was bad. I felt there were enough workers from what I saw outside but even if not a simple "Are you doing ok" would have sufficed. Maybe next time remember that.
