Benbow Historic Inn

Benbow Historic Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We LOVE the Benbow Inn. It is a unique and cherished inn that my family has visited for over 75 years. The staff are friendly (one even played the piano while I was reading in the main room), and the grounds and building are extraordinary, beautiful, and of a bygone era. Also, not to be missed: scones and tea at 3:00!"

"Very quiet location. Room was clean and comfortable. The only thing I would have added is a chair and desk, maybe instead of the chest of drawers which I never use. Check-in was quick and easy and our request for downstairs rooms was honored."
