Went for the Thanksgiving buffet - waited for the food to be replenished several times. Wait up to 15 minutes for mashed potatoes and turkey in the buffet line. The turkey was processed food, not from an actual carved turkey. For well over $100 for 3 of us, they couldn't even give us coffee with our meal. Desserts were minimal too. We had been out of town dealing with ill parents and thought this would be the perfect spot to celebrate Thanksgiving. It turned out to be a huge disappointment. Had been to Cherry Valley and Granville Inn prior to this on Thanksgiving and there is no comparison. The Buxton is not even close to these 2 other places. Their staff could not keep up with the demands of a buffet plus the set up was in a difficult place to move in and around the restaurant. There needs to be a lot more planning and preparation done before this place can ever earn a high mark in my book although our plans are never to return there in the future.

Annual destination for Haunted History buffs! Fine dining at an 1800's Inn. Particularly popular at Halloween as many of the Inn Rooms are purpotedly Haunted by friendly spirits of long gone owners and pets. Very pleasant upscale dining experience. Our recent visit on halloween for a family annual Birthday dinner was excellent. Several family members stayed the night in one of a previous Inn Keepers Haunted Bedrooms. Many famous Americans have visited here. Fascinating Historical Inn. This years visit was planned and Reservations had been made during our previous years visit

We went to the Buxton this evening to eat, We waited about 5 minutes for somebody to show up to seat us. The wait staff was good but seamed understaffed. We ordered 2 filet's and the prime rib. Filet's came out as ordered the Prime Rib came out like leather, dry and over cooked. It clearly wasn't freshly cooked. I then ordered the chicken cordon bleu which was very good. Desserts were also very good. I would recommend they take the Prime Rib off the menu unless they are going to cook fresh each day. There is no way the Prime was fresh. The color would be the same all the way through.

Thus far I have really enjoyed my stay here. The room is nice and everyone on staff has been very friendly. We enjoyed a drink in the Blue Bar last night and are looking forward to dinner in The Tavern tonight.

A gem of a hotel in one of the more charming towns I have ever seen. If you have ever been to colonial Williamsburg and wished that you could have the same experience in a more authentic setting then this is your place. Tons of history and charm with an enthusiastic staff. Great stay, great value. I highly recommend it as a place with character that the big chains can't match.

We had my son's rehearsal dinner in the garden room on a summer Friday evening. The room looked lovely, the food was delicious and the servers were very attentive. The entire Inn looks beautiful following the recent renovations. Didn't have any ghostly guests for dinner, so I guess we'll have to go back & try again.
Thanks for everything!response / report this review -

Great decor. Service was good, walked us to our room in another building on property. We had a private balcony. Enjoyed brunch at rhe restaurant after check out. The only complaint was the mattress was worn out and dipped significantly in the middle.

Stayed one night in 'haunted' room 9. Didn't see any ghosts, but my stay was still very enjoyable. I absolutely loved the atmosphere. Secret paths, a basement tavern, a gorgeous greenhouse, lots to explore. Loved that I could leave my car and just walk , or take one of their bikes, into town. I would definitely stay again, and recommended to others.

This place has a unique charm that seems to take you back in time. We had a dessert party the night before a wedding and it was the perfect venue. Staff were wonderful. The town is really cute and charming. It's a great place to hold a social gathering of friends and family. I highly recommend considering this place if you want to class up your event!

Interior is perfect blend of historical beauty and modern convenience. The buffet was limited but literally everything was delicious and not typical buffet items. Great for mother's day

Spilled something on the sheet and was charged for an entire bedding replacement of $300 ..outrageous! I tried to rebuttal charge. They didn't even try to wash the sheet just replaced.. incredible they must need business badly if they charge $300 for a replacement sheet! Will never recommend this place.
