This was an unforgettable, amazing experience. The welcome from the front host was so inviting. She walked us to our room and shared all the amenities available to us. She gave us a fantastic dinner recommendation. We stayed in the “Library Room” which was charming. The big King bed was beyond comfortable which is why it was wonderful to be able to have the option to have breakfast in bed. Manchester is a bit posh but welcoming, and the foliage in October is beautiful.

We had a lovely weekend at The Relucatant Panther. The room was perfect. The area was quiet. It was convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. The dinner was scrumptious, and we loved the little basket with breakfast - just enough! The staff at both the desk and the dining room was amazing! We can't wait to come back.

Great getaway

Very well located and the staff is really friendly. Our room was spacious and comfortable. It was peaceful, with a nice outdoor area including a pond and seating. Breakfast was fantastic and packed in a picnic basket so we could easily eat by the pond. Good value. Also, not included, but dinner there was fantastic!

Resturant on the site was excellent with friendly staff. The choice of entrees was somewhat limited but tasty. The breakfast delivered to our room was so convenient and delicious. They recognized an error from our on-line reservation reservations and corrected it resulting a lower nightly charge. We greatly appreciated me.them doing this. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful in answering our questions or getting us what we needed. We hope to stay there again.

The inn consists of a beautiful old main building with modern bungalow rooms in a garden setting. We stayed in one of the modern additions. The room was very spacious and well-appointed. The bathroom was of a good size and the complimentary toiletries were especially good. There was plenty of space to sit and relax. We went for the in-room breakfast option, which was superb. The inn is in town, on a quiet side street, with lots of dining and shopping options within walking distance.

We stayed and ate at the Inn the weekend of Valentine’s Day and we had a wonderful experience. The room was beautiful, cozy and clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious and the town is very cute. I would love to come back and stay again—we still talk about it!
