The Emma Grace

There is one reason this sweet B and B gets a 3 star and that is the duplicity in not describing two of their rooms adequately. Room 6 “The States” is not in the main building but outside on the other side of a small courtyard and it has an entrance directly on the street. It is a dark room without a window that opens so to get fresh air you have to open the door onto the street and all the passersby look in. It is the Main Street going into Cooper but Cooper is small so luckily it isn’t that busy. We were so upset to get this small, dark and dingy room when we booked months in advance and had our choice of any room. We thought it would be cute with all the State plates in the wall. It isn’t - it is one of the worst hotel rooms we have ever stayed in. Now that that is out of the way the Emma Grace is lovely! Our friends had a room in the main house and it was utterly charming with antiques and high windows and exposed brick. The breakfast is fantastic - cooked up by Chris who is also fantastic. He felt so bad about our room but he is not the owner so there isn’t much he can do. It was a combination of the eclipse and my husband’s birthday so I put a lot of effort into finding the best spot for both, I found the spot but not the room. The owners must put something on the website to warn other travelers that two of the rooms are not in the main house and are on the street without windows that open. The other room in the street is Room 7 but I don’t know what title it has on the website.
