    delicious breakfast
    comfortable suite

    We stayed in Suite 2 and the breakfast was spectacular! The chef, Megan, made a delicious plate with fresh eggs, meat, and fruit every morning.

    It wasn't low-cost, but worth it!

    I adored the historic charm of Light Horse Inn, with spacious common areas filled with natural light. It was conveniently located, making it accessible for seniors like myself, and the breakfast area was particularly inviting.

    The mattress could be more comfortable.

    great location
    fun wine tasting
    spacious area
    lack of staff support

    Had a fantastic time with friends! We enjoyed days filled with hiking and wine tasting at amazing vineyards. The location was great for exploring, and we had plenty of space to relax and play cards. Breakfast on the last day was a delightful surprise, making our stay even better.

    However, we did feel that there was a lack of on-site assistance. We rarely saw staff, and check-in was a bit confusing.

    luxurious bathroom
    friendly breakfast service
    cozy vibe
    parking challenge
    firm mattress

    I enjoyed the spacious layout of Suite # 2. The newly renovated bathroom felt luxurious. Every morning, breakfast by Chef Megan was the highlight with delicious options. Coffee and snacks throughout the day added to the cozy vibe. Location was perfect, close to great eateries and historic sites. However, parking was a challenge with limited spots, especially during peak hours due to shared use with a nearby bar. Also, the mattress felt too firm for my preference, causing some discomfort during the nights.
