Ever wonder what stepping back in time would look like? (Or, if you’re anything like me, you have also had daydreams/fantasies about what living at Downton Abbey would be like) Well, the Dragonfly Inn is your (mini version) answer to that!
I was cheeky and stayed for 6 nights in the Arizona Room (although I’m convinced it’s still not long enough!) and I don’t think I have ever ooh’d and ahh’d that much at any other place I’ve stayed at before. I was a walking heart eyed emoji for the whole time I was there! (I cannot even talk about the beautiful claw foot bath tub because I think I could actually cry at how much I already miss it).
The location is fantastic and is within walking/car distance to a number of amenities and local attractions (or for daydreams sake you could pretend a horse drawn carriage/old Cadillac or Rolls Royce etc. up to you, no judgment from me obviously. In fact, I would encourage it).
The breakfast baskets were a perfect touch and meant you that could DIY breakfast and take your time with meandering downstairs at your leisure after a cosy sleep in (because alas, I’m on a vacation thank you!).
The staff were lovely and everything is run so smoothly. There were a lot of thoughtful touches and surprises from the DVD/book collection, restaurant/activity recommendations to the old ledgers. And the view! Ahhh, that view. Not only is it remarkable from the room and the balcony, but also from the dining area!
The owners have done an exceptional job in bringing the place to life as well as documenting the history of the property. It leaves you in wonderment of the lives that have been lived within the walls of this majestic residence.
I would absolutely recommend this place to everyone. Thank you to the Dragonfly team/Tom and Bec for having us :)
