Wow! If you are traveling from NY to FL, take 81 S instead of I 95 and stay here! The rooms are impeccably clean, comfortable,... and captivating! The proprietor, Veda, was a perfect host. Her staff made you feel like you were the only one there. Oh, andbreakfast was out-of-this-world delicious. We recommend the blueberry scones with peach jam, the bananas foster French toast,and the fried green tomato b.l.t. No need to stop at Starbucks. The endless coffee at breakfast was rich and full-bodied. Theyeven offer oat milk or almond milk in addition to half and half. Our server Emmy was attentive and personable. Enjoy your stay!We did and can not wait to return! Read more
We had a lovely stay at the Dinsmore inn. I picked the inn based on its location and historic charm and it did not... disappoint. Our room was large and spacious, though the bathroom was a bit tight. Bed was very comfortable. The inn is on abusy street but a white noise machine provided. We live in a DT so use to noise. The morning breakfast at Farm Bell weredelicious. Loved the creative menu. Wonderful service. We were able to park the car and do some exploring on foot. Lots ofrestaurants nearby and DT only a mile away. Easy walk. Veda was a welcoming and gracious host. Great stay to celebrate amilestone birthday. Read more
I have stayed at the Dinsmore twice now and had lovely experiences both times. Last year, we used the front room for our... family-only Covid friendly wedding ceremony. It was wonderful and the hospitality is amazing. This year, we stayed again for theweekend while we had our big wedding and used the Jefferson Suite for my bridesmaids to get ready. Veda was very professionaland welcomed us personally. She always has her sweet pup with her, which is cute, but we are both allergic and were surprisedshe let him follow us into our cleaned room. At the end of our stay, our card on file was charged without us getting to look atthe final bill, which was a little disappointing as we would have liked to change the card that would be charged. We werefinally able to do that after some back and forth with Veda about it, which was nice, but it seemed like we were reallybothering her for asking. Read more
Very cute and hospitable Inn. Stayed two nights and had a lovely time. The staff was on top of everything and the room was very... intimate and functional. Parking is not an issue and the downstairs brunch restaurant is phenomenal and included in thestay. They contacted us with directions well ahead of time and worked to swap our downstairs room with an upstairs room toaccommodate an older couple staying there. We were comped the room upgrade and they even threw in a bottle of wine with theroom. Read more
Just spent our first anniversary at the Dinsmore Inn. Absolutely wonderful. We had a charming room with its own entrance off of... the back of the building. Incredible location, one block from "The Corner" and easily walkable to delicious restaurants on MainStreet, Downtown, and Belmont. Veda, the Inn Keeper, was so kind and hospitable. She took care of all our needs and was readilyavailable via text, which was nice and convenient. All the staff were friendly and helpful The brunch was delicious. We ate atFarm Bell both mornings, which was included with the hotel room. Best way to start the day. Many thanks to the Dinsmore team.Keep it up! Read more
My experience at the Dinsmore was exceptional. The inn?s keeper, Veda and her staff went above and beyond to make sure my stay... was special. The location is phenomenal, and the breakfast is one of a kind. I recommend the baked brie as well as the chickenand waffles. This is by far the best inn I?ve ever stayed in. Read more
