This circa 1897 stately mansion sits on lovely landscaped grounds. The guest rooms and suites are tastefully decorated, and each is equipped with a propane fireplace.
Not evaluated. Facilities, services, and décor characterize an upscale property.

Pros: Real ceramic coffee mugs
Excellent location next to the gardens. Easy walk to town.
Quiet location
Plenty of water bottles
Cons: Not up to superb Relais and chateau standards
Unfriendly ..treated like peasants ...everything locked up, therefore one had to walk to the locked front door and ring to talk to the manager. Dinner menu available after 3 pm and one had to seek out the information
uncomfortable sheets that did not fit the bed and stay in place.
No frig, iron or ironing board, tiny TV

Pros: Next to Kingsbrae Gardens which are beautiful. Property was attractive, public areas handsomely furnished. Room was small but comfortable, well appointed. Room was quiet.
Cons: I think there must have been some sort of staff kerfuffle while we were there. We were told indirectly that we were not welcome to dine at the inn, and that breakfast would cost $25 each and would include only coffee, pastries, and yoghurt. We never saw any staff after our initial check in. When we asked for info re dining elsewhere, staff knew next to nothing about St. Andrews. Said he was from Montreal; it seemed like St. Andrews was not of interest to him. Weird

Pros: Lovely room upgrade. Sans functioning toilet.
Cons: Tried 3 different rooms. Plumbing was an issue in 2 of the 3 rooms. Paid a lot of money for a room without a working toilet. When I called and left a message for management to call me back, my calls were never returned.
Not worth the money.

Pros: Main inn looked amazing.
Cons: We stayed in a very small room on the ground floor of the guest cottage which I would describe as "fine" but a little cramped and not special. The bathroom was a tad dated.

Pros: Lovely location. Cocktails and dinner expensive but worth it once a year. Air conditioning was welcome. Disappointing that the reflecting pool/fountain was not operating and had been partially planted. No comfortable chairs/loungers to sit on to enjoy the garden - just the chairs at the tables.

Pros: This facility was marvelous and the staff were awesome. The decor and setting reminded me of Downton Abbey in many ways. We stayed one night for Canada Day and it will be most memorable. The dinner was outstanding and we had an awesome nights sleep.
Cons: The dinner meal was fabulous though the cost was steep. We chalked our visit up to the honeymoon we didn't have.

Pros: Hospitality and respect from every staff member including the owner. Thesuite was gorgeous, beautifully appointed, comfortable, spacious, withevery amenity. And the bathroom--outstanding--like an expensive spa! Icould have stayed a month. The food and drinks delicious and so gourmet.I felt like I was in a 5 star restaurant but also sitting in my ownliving/dining room. We were travelling with friends and the tworooms were across the hall--like our own two couple suite. Loved thebalcony for fresh air. Being next door to Kingsbrae Gardens was also abonus. We were in 11 overnight properties in 14 days of our trip, andthis was by far and away a superior experience in every respect!
Cons: Are you kidding? I have absolutely no complaints!

Pros: Great location.
Cons: The room had a lot of ambient light at night due to glass blocks above the door letting hallway light in. It was also louder than I thought it would be (we could hear every move of the people in the room above us). Only one bar of soap in room so it had to move between sink and shower. The shower was very cramped - servicable but not what I would expect for the cost of the room.

Pros: We traveled 400+ miles from central Vt. and KB Arms met all our expectations for peaceful old world charm location in beautiful seaside village and a gate away from award winning KB Gardens.
Pamela was perfect hostess anticipating every need.
Cons: Not really a dislike, but with quality of Inn, possibly could have had better choice of inroom tea other than Tetley, possibly Harney, to go with sumptuous, so-called continental breakfast on our deck.. it.set us up until dinner!
