We loved our stay at this quirky little inn. The fireplace in our room was lovely as was the charm of the old building and decor. The continental breakfast was great as well! The biggest downfall here was that valet parking was the only option, and it was pretty pricy. Overall, we were very pleased with our experience!

Lovely, eclectic B&B. Staff were welcoming and available for questions. Room spacious; bed/mattress super comfortable. Super clean. Only downsides: no air conditioning (it was a warm weekend), and my husband would have liked a room safe. Regardless, I will gladly stay here in future!

I really enjoyed my time at White Swan Inn. I reached out the week of my stay for an early check-in and was grateful for a quick response! I was fortunate they were able to accommodate me and check in was quick and easy. I used the valet service as well which is not cheap but was super convenient and in my opinion, worth the money! I would definitely stay here again.
