may be, is a very special event.

Trish and John Walker,
owners and innkeepers of the Essex Inn, realized a dream come true when
they bought the Inn in 1995. Trish, who had always wanted to host a
bed & breakfast, utilized her gardening and decorating skills to
help bring about the transformation of this wonderful Essex landmark.
John obtained his culinary talents at the Culinary Institute of America
in Hyde Park, New York, and felt he had found the perfect setting to
develop his personal techniques and to delight not only guests of the
Inn, but the general public with his signature dishes.

Prices quoted are double
occupancy per night.
A full breakfast is included in the daily room rate.
