Overall, my stay at the Cuthbert House Inn was quite enjoyable. The friendly and attentive owners created a welcoming atmosphere, and the spacious room was truly a delight. However, I was hoping for a more engaging social hour, which fell a bit flat. The breakfast was fantastic, yet the service felt slightly disorganized at times, impacting the overall experience.

The Cuthbert House Inn is a charming place with warm hospitality that truly makes you feel at home. I loved the engaging social hour with other guests and the owners, which really enhanced my experience. The meals provided were delicious and definitely a highlight of our stay. However, it's worth noting that the historical charm means some amenities are a bit dated, and we did have to adjust to the older windows not being fully insulated.
