A pleasant surprise and the loveliest of rooms. I was in town for Shakespeare and my friends' hotel was unavailable. In the end, I was happy for that. Everything was closer than a 15 minute walk. I enjoyed the art gallery on the 3rd floor! The staff was welcoming and helpful. I will be returning!

10/10 Exceptional

The Blackburn Inn is such an interesting place to stay. Rich in history and very well maintained. I appreciated that the building still carries much of the details of its past. The only downfall was that construction was being done on one of the buildings (but yay for expansion!) so it was a little less pleasing to the eye. Breakfast was delicious and I enjoyed talking to the staff about the history of the building and some surrounding buildings. Would absolutely stay here again!

We had an issue finding a room that was available but Gwen was extremely motivated to find me a room. The room was comfortable with a nice sized bath. Perfect for a single traveler. I also had breakfast which was delicious. The grounds are beautifully kept and great for a morning walk.

Nice place to stay. I will again. When I got to my room, there wasn't any towels. It was taken care of immediately and I got a complementary breakfast out it which was also fantastic. Thanks Blackburn. See you again

6/10 Good

It was an ok last minute stay. The property is being renovated so construction began early on Monday morning. There were cobwebs in our room and the floor was gritty. I just don’t think they were expecting guests maybe so the few hours booking notice wasn’t enough. I think I would choose elsewhere next time. The shower and showerhead were the nicest part of our stay. The gentleman at check in did offer some suggestions for dinner and that was helpful.
