We arrived between 3 and 4 pm so we were not able to check in. So, we made the short drive to Hatley, a cute town on the river, for an early dinner. Checked in at 4:30 pm. Carol greeted us and was very welcoming. The room was one flight up from the sitting room. It was smallish but in excellent, fresh condition. Clean and bright. We looked around the grounds after unloading. Nice flower beds. Plenty of seating outside with panoramic view to the river and hills beyond. Very quiet and peaceful. A short mile drive on a well maintained gravel road from the main road. Nice to hear just birds after being in the city. Other guests were friendly - sharing the day’s activities, getting restaurant suggestions or relaxing at the small pool. The room lighting wasn’t quite right for reading, and the wi-fi was insecure, so we fell asleep early in the comfortable bed. In the morning, the small, square shower was refreshing. The a/c worked well overnight. In our particular room, folks over 6 feet tall should be a little cautious at night due to the sloped ceiling in the bathroom. We enjoyed the morning air and view from the porch before breakfast. The dining area was lovely. Breakfast was exceptional. The staff are certainly committed to providing a special experience for guests. We highly recommend this auberge.
