Made the call 2 days before we wanted a room, and luckily, there was one available. We arrived and met, the effervescent and delightful, Mary. She checked us in and even made reservations at a wonderful restaurant for dinner. The room was beautifully appointed and welcoming. On the bed were two big, fluffy bathrobes. I immediately stripped and put one on. Then, much to my poor wife's dismay, began prancing (if you knew me, you would realize that that is not a good look) around the room, trying to look regal. Anyway, I decided to take a shower. I cannot say enough about the shower. From the first second that I entered the water, I was hooked. Best Shower Ever. I stood there in rapture. I do not know whether the other rooms have the same type shower ( I didn't think it proper to go to the other guests and ask to test their showers), but if they do, you are in for a treat. We were in the Cambridge Room. After a long and luxurious shower, we dressed and went to dinner. Mary's restaurant suggestion was spot on. We leisurely walked back to the Inn and sat on the porch for a few minutes. After a short time, one of the other guests came out holding a bottle of bourbon and a glass. I asked him where was my glass, and he went back in and got one. Yikes!! We must be in the South. So, I sat with this gentleman and sipped bourbon. Then another couple came back from dinner and they joined us. Eventually, my wife and bourbon guy's wife piled on. We had an interesting and relaxed conversation; that only complete strangers can have. We were out on the porch for at least an hour (have no idea how long we were there), and then beddy bye. Slept. Woke (always a welcome surprise) and made a bee line to the shower. Ahhhhh! Then down to breakfast. Scrumptious. Eric, the owner and chef, is a master. Stuffed and sated, we checked out, hung around for a little while, talked to Mary then hit the bricks. I highly recommend The Hummingbird Inn. It was a wonderful experience. Maybe we'll see you there. Bring bourbon.
