"Absolutely beautiful hotel! After asking the extremely pleasant, friendly and wonderful staff about the history I found out that the Inn used to be a Woman's college. Beautiful brick structure with a warm industrial/elegant feel inside. As if you were stepping back in time. The rotary phone in the room is an excellent touch. Outside in the courtyard is a very warm and cozy area with two large brick fire pits and comfortable rocking chairs around extra large tables. I was in town for parent's weekend at Longwood, so I wasn't able to see what the actual town of Blackstone was like. However, I would HIGHLY recommend this quaint and elegant Inn, as it truly is an Inn and not a hotel experience."
