This was our 51st Anniversary vacation. Chose the Hillbrook Inn from a LONG list of possibilities. Selected this location because I wanted to have our Anniversary Dinner at the Bavarian Inn, in Shepardstown and there were no rooms at the Bavarian Inn for the dates I desired.
The Hillbrook Inn is a nice place but it is way off the beaten trail. The drive into the Inn is a dusty gravel road that can only be accessed at less than 10 mph. Not a biggie, but it should be noted, especially after it rains. My vehicle was covered with grey material similar to that of cement.
We stayed in the Bamford Room at the end of the Main House. Nice and separate from the rest of the rooms. Quiet and somewhat cozy. It had two ways of entering, either through the Main House or from the outside through a private door, very convenient.
Bed was hard to get into since it is an older style, high off the floor. A small two step footstool was provided. The pillows are standard style,but soft.
Now the fun part. Want a cold shower-you can have it!!! In the morning, it takes about five minutes for the water to get warm enough to shower for the first person. The next person get immediate hot water. Another 'oops' was the air conditioning was working when we arrived but the longer it was on the less it worked. 85 outside and 78 inside. Reported it and maintenance came and cleaned the filter.
Overall, a nice place to stay. A bit high priced but it has all the amenities for a quiet vacation. Might be back
