“Lovely setting convenient for walking into town but the noisy A/C compressor was a problem”
+The inn was a short walk from the theatre area of Ashland so I didn't have to drive into town and find parking. The guest kitchen was handy for keeping leftovers from a restaurant in the fridge and reheating the next day in the microwave. Dishes and cutlery were provided.
−The A/C compressor came on every 10-15 minutes during the night. When I went to bed I turned the system to OFF on the wall thermostat, and it was already 67 degrees outside and 70 inside. The thermostat in my room was set at 72. Yet the compressor kept coming on and cold air was blowing through the ceiling vents. After a couple of hours of this and no sleep, I closed both ceiling vents. However, the compressor kept turning on noisily and the fan kept blowing noisily and I could still feel cold air blowing in the room, probably because the cold air return is in the ceiling above the bed. The thermostat in the room has nothing to do with the temperature or vents in that room. Another thermostat must be controlling it. I could find no way to turn the system off. Also, every time the fan turned off after the compressor stopped for 10 minutes, there was a clang like a valve closing somewhere above the ceiling. As a result I got almost no sleep.

“A quiet and very comfortable place to stay in Ashland.”
+We loved the quiet neighborhood location. The property is lovely, with a large, nicely landscaped yard and a pool. Our room also had its own little private yard, which was lovely. It was great to have the kitchen facilities, which we used for coffee and a simple breakfast.
−The bed sheets were scented. I am allergic to many laundry scents and I had problems with this. I would recommend using unscented products.

“Maybe this was exceptional 10 years ago, but it needs a refresh for the prices that are being asked.”
+It was a decent walk into town
−It was tired. Many of the items as described were embellished. For example, the room description read as if we would have a kitchenette in our room. However, it was a shared kitchenette. We booked the property specifically because it had a pool. When we arrive, we asked the Inn keeper about it, and he said that the pump had broken recently, but it should still be warm. There is a decaying pump next to a fence that looked like it had been broken for years; the water was too cold for my husband to even get in. The cushions on the iron lounge chairs were so thin and thread bare making them very uncomfortable. I paid more for a king bed, but we quickly learned that we had two twins pushed together. Not the same. Everything in the room was clean, although the towels were old and fraying. The linens were washed with a detergent that had a heavy fragrance, making it very difficult to sleep. Finally, there were no flowers in this garden. The landscaping was overgrown, making making me feel that we had overpaid for a property that had been forgotten.

“Comfortable, attractive room and grounds with an excellent location.”
+Location was great--within walking distance of town. Room was very comfortable (though a bit dated). The grounds were wonderful--big yard with places to sit outside. We had a private and lovely patio outside our room. Pool was too small to swim in, but at least, there was a pool. We desperately needed A/C because of 100 degree plus temperature and it functioned well. A bonus was free coffee and a large refrigerator in the guest's kitchen.
−Pool was too small to swim in.
