Elmrock Inn

My husband and I did not stay here but had a private dining experience celebrating our anniversary. It was amazing. Chef Mark and his team prepared a special tasting menu just for us. We had 8 courses, all were fantastic. Our favorites: date wrapped in bacon with goat cheese, pureed soups of beet, roasted yellow tomatoes, butternut squash, chopped salad with Gorgonzola cheese, walnuts and granny smith apples, chicken made with apple cider, onions and carrots and pan seared salmon and tuna. Mark is a passionate, laid back, super talented, local chef that really is a pleasure to have wait on you. He presented each meal to us, climbing the stairs each time up and down from his basement kitchen. We also enjoyed local gin, wines and warm apple cider with spiced rum. It was a special meal cooked by a special man and we loved it. It was a truly memorable evening.

First the Positives: Contactless check-in, comfortable bed and bedding, lovely grounds, excellent breakfast. Unfortunately, the room was stuffy and hot. The small window air conditioner took a while to cool the room and, as there was only 1 window, blocked out most of the natural light. The “private” bathroom was across the hall from our room. The bathtub spigot was encrusted with corrosion - which was a major disappointment. Bathrobe collar was satined.

Beautiful grounds well maintained. First floor was lovely and we would have loved to eat breakfast there. Water tastes ok but smells awful. Window A/C units are inconsistent with the cost. Bed was lumpy. We wish that the breakfast arrangements were more flexible. A single 9:00 am seating is very limited.
