We loved staying here for our anniversary and will probably make it an annual occurrence. The hotel is right downtown and near restaurants, and parking is right in front. If you want to stay in a hotel from the 1700s in Hillsborough, then this is the place to go.

Beautiful, historic building nestled within the sweet little downtown of Hillsborough. Staff was so incredibly friendly, check in was easy, and room service was divine. Beautiful rooms and steps away from locally owned shops.
