Hillbrook Inn

I am not sure what I expected when I picked Hillborook Inn & Spa, but I can tell you that it exceeded it. First off, the grounds are stunning. This property is loaced with beautiful old growth trees, lawns and a hilly topography. There is plenty of wildlife too including the sweet turtles hanging out in the pond. The rooms are snug, but sweet and when I was not thrilled about the pillows in my room, the staff was quick to swap them out. We lounged around the lobby space in the later night, using the tv to look at our photos and listen to music. It was comfortable and traditionaly, but quirky as an old inn should be. The restaurant had excellent breakfast and we did stay for the tasting menu dinner during an absolute belter of a thunderstorm and we were grateful that we did not have to venture out. The service was very professional befitting the fine dining price and experience. but I would say that the food did not always land. Again the cost for dinner was a bit high at $125 pp for 3 courses, so we did have expectations. Regardless, we loved the place and hope we have an excuse to visit sagain some time.

Loved the property and the cottage even though the WiFi was terrible. I left them know about it twice and they acted like it isn’t a regular thing, but after reading the reviews I see it is. The property was beautiful and I loved the deer each morning and evening on my walk. I would not do the add-ons again. The dinner was three courses, but little very little food give. We were still hungry after finishing eating. The romantic picnic was nothing special food wise. Not worth the prices for these things. The massage was excellent! So maybe we will go back but we won’t do any add ons and eat dinner elsewhere.

We had an amazing long weekend at Hillbrook. It was like being transported to an English Countryside. The Winter Cottage where we stayed was so comfortable and charming. Their chefs are absolutely amazing, we are still talking about how good our breakfasts and the tasting dinner was.

Lovely Luxury with a spacious sunset suite. Very comfortable bed and sofa. Wish there were one or more sofa tables. staff were delightful, will definitely come again. Please add a cafe for guests not wanting a large expensive dinner. Breakfast Food was very good. Kitchen well equipped for beverage and snack storage, and very clean.

I kept my daughters kids and paid for a 3 night stay. They arrived and anticipated a few hours of relaxation before venturing out for dinner. Got a call at about 4 to ask if they were coming to their pre booked couples massage. They explained that they had booked it for next day with front desk. Spa and front desk got it wrong. When they asked if they could have it on correct date of booking they were told no. Need to come now. Not a great way to start the trip. When trying to shower after massage they found that their shower head was dirty and clogged. They asked if it could be cleaned. They were told yes. It never happened. I paid for dinner at the property for nights 2 and 3. Night 2 dinner was complete with a small portion cup of olives app. A steak that was so small they had to find food afterwards due to hunger. They cancelled 3rd night dinner. Bar was tiny and jammed into a corner in the main house. Breakfast was a real disappointment. They described it as just ok and nothing special. They ate all future meals away from the Inn. Seems that dinner at 125.00 per person would be the “star of the show”?!?! Don’t book the cabins. I advised that I wanted the best room they had at booking (directly with the Inn) and was told Winter Cabin was the choice to be made. The cabin was split into 4 rooms and not dedicated as I was lead to believe. I was looking forward to visiting myself and sending others. They recommended I find anywhere else in the area I was

It was a small cute place with not much happening during my stay. You could only eat the fixed $125 menu for dinner by reservation only which may cater to some. But they did include a nice homestyle break every morning which I loved. I would say they could do a better job at cleaning the windowsills because I saw lots of con webs and dead bugs in my room. Overall, I would come back! Cute cottage getaway.

Our stay at the Hillbrook Inn and Spa from 2/15-17 was a disappointment from the beginning. Our suite, the Bramford Suite, the hotels finest, was dark and dingy, and did not look like the picture on the website. Light bulbs were out, the ceiling had a large spot of primer (from a leak?), the outlets were missing their outlet covers and the closets were full of paint cans and construction equipment, The room looked like it was being renovated but hastily set up for guests in between reno times. Dinner…3 courses, $135.00 per (the website said $125.00). You could add 3 wines for additional $75.00 per…$25.00 for a glass of wine seemed extreme as did the dinner, but we were celebrating so went with the program. Had a lovely cocktail in the cute bar, then were seated at 6:30, our reserved time. There were 2 tables already seated in our dining area and a few more in the upper dining room. Waiter arrived and took our order, without the additional $75.00 charge for wine. Dinner rolls appeared about 7; 1st course 7:30; 2nd course almost 8, and it was incorrect. Finally served about 8:10 with correct dishes and received dessert 8:30. Food was tasty but skimpy, especially at that price. Breakfast the following 2 days was hearty and served by wonderful servers. The staff was amazing, courteous, friendly and helpful. After reading all the positive reviews, however, our stay was nothing short of disappointing. Don’t think we will return.

Clean room, awesome breakfast, enjoyed having coffee, would have enjoyed a larger coffee selection. Liked having manager there on regular basis filling us in on things, told us about new property purchases and coming upgrades.and handling details(we brought wine, assistes us keeping it chilled. We took a walk on the grounds. Cold but epic.

Nice menu, sufficient variety, good quality food. Great attention to detail and friendly staff!
