Nice setting, rocky service
We have stayed in a number of similar inns. Chimney Hill was physically lovely, as expected - the house and common areas, and the alpacas and llamas are cute. However, the service and management were jarring.
We stayed in the main house (room 1) for two nights. On both mornings we were woken in an unwelcome manner. On the first morning our clock radio had been left set on, and went off at 6:40am. In addition, classic rock began to blare downstairs about an hour before breakfast. Initially we thought it was Saturday morning workmen, but we went down to discover that it was the breakfast music. The manager did turn the music down. She blamed the other staff member for the alarm clock and did not offer any apology.
On the second morning the music was more bland but was just as loud and without charm. We also overheard the manager informing her fellow staff member that if guests showed up even 10 minutes late, they would get no breakfast. This was quite unnecessary for us to hear.
There was an apparent blood stain on the door sill to the bathroom.
On the positive side, the house is lovely. Other than a few tacky tchotchkes and a private bathroom we had to access via a public hallway, we were satisfied with the room.
We suspect that the place was once owner-operated, but that it's now under management by less attentive third parties. Finally - if the above flaws are repaired, Chimney Hill would still be on the expensive side.
