Policies
The Old Consulate Inn is devoted to adults seeking an enchanting, warm, and relaxing escape from the tumult of the world.
The proprietors reserve the right to deny access or service for any reason. The Inn is our home. We ask that our guests reciprocate our hospitality by not compromising the comfort and safety of our other guests and ourselves, and that of our community.
