A lovely, well-maintained historic inn full of Arts & Crafts era character. Friendly and accommodating staff, and tasty fresh prepared breakfast options. The Grant's Woods area offers a great place to sit outside in nice weather with shady trees and a variety of chairs, tables and lounge furniture. In just a short walk you can reach the small town center of Hawley which offers a few shops and restaurants.

No fault of the inn, but the only thing we would wish was a bit different was that there wasn't an occasionally busy intersection next to the inn.

Jazz night last Wednesday made our stay especially memorable. It was fantastic music and it turned the whole experience into a real celebration. Breakfast was generous and delicious.

We were not happy to see "resort fee" on our invoice. We object to these additional fees we're seeing a number of inns and hotels tacking on to their advertised rate. Anyone can call themselves a resort and add these fees which seems kind of dishonest. We will call ahead to clarify whether our rate includes a resort fee and if so, we may opt for a place that is simple a nice country inn which is how we used to think of The Settlers Inn.

The manager greeted us when we checked in and helped carry luggage to the second floor to our room.The room was small but comfortable. The lobby/living room area is large with comfortable seating and an adjacent bar so that friends can gather to socialize.

We had two meals in the dining room and both times the service was extremely slow.

Lovely country inn with nice gardens and grounds. Excellent service and very nice breakfast. Exceptionally beautiful public areas.

No complaints except that our room was to small to be truly comfortable. However, that was my own fault since I booked the smallest room since we were only staying one night to sleep and had not much time to linger. Saw other rooms that were much bigger and very nice and wished I had booked one of those.

The garden

Room was not updated. Bathroom was not completed painted. Food reviews said that the food was excellent and both the breakfast and dinner was below average. The food servers were both nice, efficient and the food was delivered quickly. The breakfast server could not provide grape jam and I could not order an omelette with ham and cheese. I was told I can only subtract ingredients from the Omelettes on the menu. How can any Hotel not offer these general and standard items.

We loved the atmosphere of the inn and the gardens. The breakfast was delicious and satisfying. The staff was very pleasant. The young man who drove the shuttle was so sweet and we appreciated him telling us about the town.

The room and bed were a little smaller than we thought it would be, but, other than that it was nice. It was hard to sleep at first because someone was going in and out of their room and kept slamming the door, (Not the fault of the inn).

It was raining heavily during our stay, so we especially appreciated the covered front veranda, where we enjoyed a Black and Tan from the welcoming tavern--and the large covered outside dining area where we ate dinner. Dinner was superb! Breakfast--excellent. Thank you all!

There is no elevator. I hope I can continue to be able to navigate stairs so that I can continue to visit Settler's.

The atmosohere was so cozy and all staff were extremely friendly, pleasant and knowledgeable. The room was also super cozy and had a relaxing vibe to it. The grounds were beautiful and really nice to walk around and explore with lots of options for enjoying the outdoors to relax and have some drinks.

Beautiful garden and next to small river and beach. It also has a very nice restaurant with veranda overlooking the garden. Very relaxing, nice place.

My husband and I had a very relaxing few days. Breakfast everyday was the start to delicious choices of fresh local ingredients that made the start of each day perfect. The beautiful gardens and s’mores night made the day even more enjoyable to meet with people and unwind. Our room overlooked the gardens and it was lovely to look out on each morning. The staff was more than helpful, very friendly and always a pleasure to greet. I will definitely book another relaxing stay at this wonderful Inn.
