Located just far enough from the hustle and bustle areas with people. My room overlooked the front of the property. It was cozy. I also love the various sitting areas inside and outside on the long porch. I love how Well Bread Bakery is right across the street and the entire village/town is small enough to walk around in under 30 mins. It’s like a hidden secret. Definitely recommend if you want to get away for solitude. ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 26 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A wonderfully designed hotel with a great ambience and quiet comfortable rooms. ##### Christopher Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lori 22 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities My evening was ruined because I could not get onto your wifi.

My husband and I enjoyed the delicious daily complimentary breakfast and daily wine hour. Everything was fresh and from local businesses. We plan to return soon!! ##### Corine Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### maggie 29 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We liked the overall ambience and coziness of the property. It was mostly quiet and we were able to relax. The staff was friendly and knowledgable. It was in a quiet location (which was what we were looking for). They serve complimentary breakfast which we enjoyed. They were supposed to provide a welcome drink when we arrived, but that was never offered to us. The property had plenty of nice places to sit down inside and outside of the property. There were games available. The room itself was cozy and clean. The bed was comfortable. It did not have a TV or refrigerator in the room, but it is mentioned in the list of amenities. Pretty close to wineries and within a reasonable distance to restaurants, etc., Overall, we were happy with our stay. ##### maggie Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy 15 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place is our "Happy Place" and the Staff is terrific. ##### Timothy Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela 31 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Cute little boutique hotel with wonderful breakfasts and wine and cheese in the afternoons.

Can’t say enough about Ballard Inn. From the wine & charcuterie board at 4, roaring fire and great breakfast! Highly recommend but ask for room to the back of property. Jessica at the front dest was great and very accommodating! ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 13 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice place for a change. No dining in area but not far. Don't miss the wine social from 4 to 5. Breakfast excellent. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kingsmills Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Kingsmills-Hotel-Inverness.h536509.Hotel-Information) > > [Curry Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-Curry-Village.h42942960.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ranch at Death Valley – Inside the Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Death-Valley-Hotels-The-Ranch-At-Death-Valley-Inside-The-Park.h893189.Hotel-Information) > > [MERUSAKA Nusa Dua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nusa-Dua-Hotels-Merusaka-Nusa-Dua.h9532295.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cervinia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cervinia-Hotels.d11085.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ragged Point Inn and Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Simeon-Hotels-Ragged-Point-Inn-And-Resort.h10104659.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Costa Encantada](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lloret-De-Mar-Hotels-Aparthotel-Costa-Encantada.h1712220.Hotel-Information) > > [Rabot Hotel from Hotel Chocolat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soufriere-Hotels-Rabot-Hotel-From-Hotel-Chocolat.h4595619.Hotel-Information) > > [The Inn at Death Valley – Inside the Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Death-Valley-Hotels-The-Inn-At-Death-Valley-Inside-The-Park.h893179.Hotel-Information) > > [Ohtels Belvedere](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-Ohtels-Belvedere.h1252184.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Valley Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-Yosemite-Valley-Lodge.h16279668.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cincinnati](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cincinnati-Hotels.d178249.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Eurostars Magnificent Mile](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chicago-Hotels-Eurostars-Magnificent-Mile.h1880320.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Stirling by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Stirling.h84003.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ahwahnee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-The-Ahwahnee.h974797.Hotel-Information) > > [Vale Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Vale-Resort.h1057564.Hotel-Information) > > [Cedar Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Cedar-Lodge.h889912.Hotel-Information) > > [MotelOne Hotels in Great Britain](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Britain-Hotels-Motel-One.0-0-d553248623451644244--bMotelOne.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Lakenheath](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lakenheath-Hotels.d3000010849.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Wawona Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-Wawona-Hotel.h19707243.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Lake Como](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Como-Hotels.d6024900.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [British Airways Bristol (BRS) to Dublin (DUB) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-bristol-intl-to-dublin/ba/brs/dub) > > [Flights from Harare (HRE) to Belfast (BHD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/hre/bhd/harare-to-belfast) > > [Air New Zealand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Air-New-Zealand-Flights.cNZ.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [flights from leeds bradford airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/lba/flights-from-leeds-bradford-airport) > > [Flights from New York (JFK) to Seawell (BGI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/jfk/bgi/new-york-to-bridgetown) ### Cars > [Car hire near Banff National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Banff-National-Park.d602291.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Kiotari](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Kiotari.d6051776.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Istanbul Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul.d654078240806088704.Holidays-City-Breaks)
