A World Away
Jun 2nd, 2011 by wordpress
We’ve just returned from a weekend at Great Oak Manor and I can’t say enough good things about the inn or the staff. This is a magnificent home, tucked away from it all along the shore with wonderful views. You will not hear traffic at Great Oak Manor. It is elegant yet dress is decidedly casual and you feel that you can kick off your shoes. The lawn and gardens are beautifully manicured, a walk on the beach at sunset was so enjoyable after a long day, and the conservatory is the perfect place to sip a complimentary glass of port or sherry after your walk, or to read. A state-of-the-art pool is also available. Every amenity has been thought out in advance. If you enjoy music, the music room will provide you an opportunity to do so. Books and magazines abound for your enjoyment. Breakfast is in a lovely sunlit room and features a first course buffet of breakfast cake, fruits and cereals, along with every variety of tea. Coffee and juice are also self-serve. Our second course was a large serving of french toast and a plump sausage. Each guest or couple has their own table. There are so many places to get away at Great Oak Manor: a sun porch, Adirondack chairs and chaises on the lawn overlooking the water as well as a screened gazebo, the library, music room, and patios. Your hostess, Cassandra, will be happy to suggest/book local places to enjoy dinner, a local cruise or other entertainment. It is truly a world away, and we look forward to returning. Charlie, a sweet and loving golden retriever, will greet you with a wag! This is an inn that can be appreciated in any season – for any reason.
