From the road, this inn looks charming, but up close it was a different story. The room was clean on the surface, but the building has a lot of problems. It was nice to look out at the small river in the back, but the screen door fell off when I moved it and the chairs on the deck were completely covered in mildew. The refrigerator had water pooled in the bottom and half the electrical outlets were non-functioning. In a nutshell, the place is old and in desperate need of repairs. I don't need fancy and I don't mind rustic, but the maintenance at the Wayside Inn has indeed gone by the wayside.

The location is charming and the staff was super nice. I didn't realize there wasn't a tv in the room but i may missed that in the deacription. The only complaint i had was that the bed was really, really hard and uncomfortable.

Our first room was in the annex part of the property, and upon entering we were struck with a terrible smell. It was so terrible that within just minutes I was getting a headache and nauseous. It was really really bad. We tried everything we could think of to mask the smell, but nothing helped, even opening the patio door when it was 45 degrees outside and raining. We spoke with the manager/owner about the problem, and she very kindly offered us a room in the main building, which was incredibly kind. We were shocked to find the vast difference between the room in the main building vs the annex. The two were so different. The main building room was much nicer, albeit still a bit run down with peeling wall paper and older thin blankets, but we were so grateful for a room that didn’t smell and for the accommodations to move us.

Stayed one night before heading to Cog railway the next morning. Cute and homely property with a lot of common areas to enjoy. Wasn’t sure what to expect based on mixed reviews, but our room was great and we were super happy with it. We stayed in the main building, river view. Room was spacious, bed was large and very comfy ( seemed like memory foam mattress), heating worked great to dry our soaked clothes. Restaurant on site opened for dinner and hot breakfast was included which was a pleasant surprise.

Needs some updates
The rooms are large, but the mattresses need to be replaced as do the pillows. Very uncomfortable. The internet and TV were not working. The bartender was super friendly and gave great recommendations. The included breakfast was a nice touch with a view of the river.

I was going to give this inn 1-star but after seeing the interior of the house, I added a star. Let me explain.... We ended up being placed in the Inn "annex". Never accept a room in it!!! It's a dated motel style room that really needs to be simply closed. As for the Inn itself, it's in real need of maintenance on the outside and the clutter removed on the inside. On a positive note, the breakfast was great and the room rate was great! I've attached some pictures of the "annex" area to help make my point.

Good value for the price.
It's kind of a quirky place with stairs that have a high rise, so a big steps up. Warning, if you're in the main building take a smaller bag to carry up whatever you need for the night. I wouldn't even try to get my suitcase up those stairs. The rooms are nicely decorated, however there were no curtains and the blinds although I managed to lower them, they were missing parts and I couldn't raise them once they were lowered. The bed had a sprung mattress which was really squeaky and I was surprised to discover there was no TV in the room, however they have a comfortable common room with a TV if you don't mind socializing. The wifi was good so if you have a laptop you're fine. The setting on the river looks amazing, but it actually sits on a pretty busy highway so I got to listen to transport trucks all night. It has a newer out building, however I have no idea what those units are like. The dining room has a lovely view of the river and bridge, and the food was good, but don't expect tablecloths and fancy table settings. It's a small family run inn and I can see they are trying very hard to make it a comfortable, homey inn and it does have a cozy feeling. The price is great in comparison with other hotels in the area and having the restaurant makes it worth booking. I suggest you call directly and request a room on the river side if you're a light sleeper.
