This makes us very proud to be in this business and even happier that our costumers feel this way. Hard work does has its benfits. Easily one of my favorite lodging/dining experiences ever” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago First, let me state for the record I have yet to see the episode of Gordon Ramsays show that featured the Inn. My wife, for the first time in years, wanted a quick weekend getaway to celebrate her birthday. She also wanted us to find a place that was dog friendly. My friend had seen Laylas featured on Ramsays t.v. show, and recommended we stay there. A 2 1/2 hr drive from Boston was more than worth it. The picturesque town of Wilmington is a shirt drive from Laylas. West Dover is postcard material for a classic New England winter/holiday season. Upon arriving at the hotel, the REAL boss, Layla, greeted us at the door. The most courteous and well behaved English Setter you will eve meet. Also, the new addition to the family, Stella the 5th month old English Setter, greeted us with youthful enthusiasm. The hardest working G.M. in the business, Kate greeted us. We had reserved the best suite at the Inn, the Honeymoon Suite, and Kate had flowers and surprises awaiting my wife, as they knew it was her birthday weekend. The room exceeded expectations. To the point where my wife didnt even want to leave the room for our stay. A huge soaking tub off of the bedroom, with a beautiful view out the balcony doors to the roaring, beautiful waters of the Deerfield River at the base of Mt. Snow. If you are staying at Laylas, please dont dine out anywhere else in town. You would be doing yourself a great disservice. The food is first class. All organic, all local, and the portions are incredible. If they have the surf and turf, get it. The homemade pasta is fantastic as well. The wait staff at the restaurant is on top of everything. Friendly, professional, and they feel like family. Gabby and Darcy are wonderful. Actually, from Sandy and Kate, all the way down to the Ross in the cleaning services, Laylas is a family. Sandy is an incredible owner. He takes time to get to know every guest at the Inn. I looked forward to any chance we had to just sit down and talk about anything under the sun. Dog owners, we had complete access to the facilities. As an owner of two dogs (who may have enjoyed their stay Just as much as we did), I can say with all assureds that the kennel and dog play areas are clean, safe, and sanitary. I would most certainly feel comfortable boarding the dogs there while we went on a day trip to Mt. Snow or into town. We came in as guests, and left (reluctantly), feeling like family. And on our way out, Layla and Stella made sure to say goodbye to us, just as they had welcomed us. We cannot wait to return, and to Sandy, Kate, and all who helped make this a memorable birthday for my wife and I, we look forward to seeing you again in 2015. Happy New Year! We were originally going to stay for 2 nights. We enjoyed it so much, we extended our stay Room Tip: Honeymoon Suite is amazing.
