I have a lot to say about this place, so settle in for a long review…read more Breakfast Buffet : We love the breakfast buffet. Whether it's just the two of us or we have out-of-town guests, it consistently delivers on quality and variety. The coffee is always hot (and, I'm told, locally sourced). There are indulgent options as well as lighter, healthier choices, so there's something for every mood. We especially appreciate the freshness, cleanliness, and high quality of the food and the quick service means we can be in and out and ready for the day. Overall, the breakfast buffet is excellent value. Dinner : We've dined at the Nu Wray several times and each visit has been excellent. Service is consistently attentive and the food is wonderful. Over multiple visits we've tried many entrees; the roast with sides is our favorite. Portions are generous. They're often enough for leftovers to enjoy later. The dessert and wine selections are a treat. Lodging : We've had the pleasure of seeing several rooms at the Nu Wray and the adjoining Carriage House, each tastefully decorated, meticulously cleaned, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you need for a perfect stay. The inn's attention to detail is evident throughout, and the nods to its history are fascinating to explore. Don't miss the second‑floor balcony overlooking the town square, a gorgeous spot for morning coffee or a nightcap, with cocktails served by the skilled mixologists at the lobby bar. The whole place feels like a step back in time, beautifully and thoughtfully restored. Events : We hosted our twin baby shower at the Nu Wray Inn and are deeply grateful to James, Amanda, and their staff for making it unforgettable. From a personalized menu created just for us to hand‑crafted desserts made fresh by their exceptional baker, every detail was perfect. The food was outstanding, and the service went above and beyond. They took care of us and our guests the entire afternoon, allowing us to relax and enjoy the celebration. This was a once‑in‑a‑lifetime event that we will cherish forever; the beautiful setting, thoughtful touches, and flawless execution made memories we'll carry with us for the rest of our lives. Thank you to everyone at the Nu Wray for making our day so special.

I have only seen 2 of the guest rooms so far but both are lovely! I am staying in the Bella which is the bridal suite. It is gorgeous & has an enclosed sleeping porch, now the sitting room. The furnishings are so cute and the bed is super comfy!! I slept like a baby last night which rarely happens if I am staying at a chain hotel. I love the claw foot bathtub, which also has a shower in case you don't have time for a nice relaxing bath. I also love the toiletries they stock in the bathroom. The shampoo, conditioner, body wash & lody lotion all smell fabulous! They also include other essentials like makeup remover wipes, shower cap, etc. They even have some bath salts that smell fabulous if you have time to enjoy a nice bath. Unfortunately this trip is for business so, I havent had much relaxation time. Also, my hubby could not join me this time due to his work, but we will definitely have to come back on a weekend to enjoy this wonderful place together. Since I had to be at my client site at 7:00 AM, I did not get to enjoy the full sit down breakfast this morning but Teresa & Craig packed me a nice go-to b-fast bag packed with all sorts of goodies including juice, bagel with cream cheese, a banana, and a delish Kind bar & even put a nice go-to coffee cup out for me so that I could take my coffee on the road. Also, I must say in this day & age I am very concerned about cleanliness at the big chain hotels and this place is immaculate! I have already booked some return trips as I am working on a project in the area for the next several weeks. I am sooo glad I found this place and would highly recommend it! Looking forward to my next stay! :-)

While making my way here I was a little worried but 10 seconds after meeting the innkeeper I was so glad I booked here. The inn is a beautiful, restored turn of the century home with huge magnolia trees on either side. The innkeepers take care of you and will accomodate any dietary or schedule needs you may have. If you are a light sleeper, use the provided earplugs to avoid getting woken up by the occasional train passing through at night. It didn't bother me at all. A comfortable room, a free upgrade, delicious breakfasts, and friendly, attentive service made for a very enjoyable stay. Looks like a nice spot for weddings and other events, too. Highly reccomended!

Although there were only a very few other customers/clients there, the staff seemed very stressed out and was not welcoming. There seemed to be a lot of communication issues between staff and management, and we observed a woman who seemed to be the owner openly yelling a small group in formalwear taking photos and also at the GM. It was extremely unprofessional. I'm very surprised at the lack of warmth and customer service, especially since there are so many other fantastic resorts, spas and venues in the area, like Chetola, Eseeola, and the Inn at Crestwood as competition. I have been to all of the others that I have listed, and had a significantly better experience at each.

Peaceful and Beautiful Stay…read more Our stay at Westglow Spa & Manor was relaxing and scenic. The spa has an incredible view, though it's starting to feel a bit dated -- the women's locker room could use updates, and the aromatherapy showers weren't producing any scent. My massage with Ted was excellent, but the food court fell short of "spa-quality." The Manor, however, was absolute perfection. Jennifer, our hostess, was the highlight of our stay -- warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. She made us feel completely at home and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was just right. Our room was beautifully updated, with a stunning view and the most comfortable bed. Westglow is a peaceful, welcoming retreat with exceptional hospitality. With a few spa and menu updates, it could easily be a five-star destination.

The family that runs the lodge are some of the nicest we've ever met.

We were big fans of Blind Squirrel Brewing before and now we're happy to call ourselves fans of the lodge and restaurant. One note... We stayed in the River Room and while it was comfortable, clean and welcoming, it's on the side of the building, so the street light shines right into the windows. I had a little trouble sleeping because the room was so illuminated. My boyfriend, however, slept like a log. So, it may not bother everyone. ;)

We got there around 10:30pm and the office was closed, but our key and room number/instructions were taped to the lobby door in an envelope so we were able to check in without anyone being there which was nice. It's definitely a rural area, there's minimal cell service depending on where you're standing. It's really perfect for disconnecting and getting in touch with nature.
