Wonderful stay, beautiful property, and gracious hosts. Had an amazing time at the Inn as it's right by the water and is a recommended place to get away from the city and stay in this charming small town.

Stephanie and Dave were absolutely fabulous in giving us a tour of the property, making sure all of our needs were met and making sure we felt welcome. The Inn was nicely decorated, our bed super comfortable and the grounds were well looked after. They had just finished a new event space which looks lovely. We will 100 percent return and highly recommend staying here. There are also lots of things to do nearby.

My husband and I have just spent three nights at the Saucy Willow Inn, it was absolutely wonderful. The location is beautiful, the house is stunning and the welcome is second to none. Stephanie & Dave are extremely warm & welcoming hosts, very professional with a great eye for detail, nothing is too much trouble. We would have no hesitation in recommending this exceptional hotel to our family and friends and we look forward to returning for more rest and relaxation soon.
