This property is absolutely beautiful. The team were extremely responsive by text and we felt looked after in every way. It is worth noting that this is not your usual hotel in that there is no room service or restaurant on site. We took the recommendation of The Blanche team and ate at a wonderful local restaurant and had breakfast at an outstanding coffee bar the next morning. Thank you for such a lovely experience.

A great place to stay!
I love staying at the Blanche! Easy, no fuss, quiet, quaint, comfortable… I could go on! Communication with staff is easy and they are always kind and professional. The Blanche is a gem in Lake City and I don’t plan to stay anywhere else when work sends me their way.
