The Bassett House's description on this site and its own website leads one to expect a lovely country inn/B&B. In reality, it needs some serious TLC: the quality of the room furnishings and linens is poor, and it's superficially clean, but not comfortably so. Our room had very dirty rugs and curtains, dusty potpourri from some forgotten year, was dingy and poorly lit. The public spaces are a cluttered hodgepodge of used furniture that are not at all inviting, and the breakfast offered is of marginal quality. It felt more like we were boarders at the host's home rather than guests at a professionally-managed inn - especially when he was hanging out in the living room (which is clearly "his" room, complete with an old, dusty Nordic Track treadmill next to the couch!) with his shirt open. At $300+ for a room it's grossly overpriced. Almost anything would be better.
