We just drove to The Inn at Little Washington, which is on my wife’s bucket list of places to stay. Heading to a wedding in a couple days. This hotel and restaurant is spread out over several historical bldgs, many of which are over 200 years old. This particular bldg, The Parsonage, was originally the Clompton House built in 1800. It houses 6 bedrooms, one of which we stayed in.
