There were some positives and negatives during our stay, and it's important to note that this B&B is under new management. It's never easy taking over a B&B, and the family that now runs this place seems very nice, and hospitable. That said, at $450 or more per night, execution is requisite for a high Yelp rating. We stayed here four 4-days and 3-nights in the Rosa room. Each room here is somewhat unique (I think there are only 8 rooms here), therefor experiences may be somewhat idiosyncratic to the specific room.
Positives:
+ Hospitable welcome, alerted us by phone when the rooms was ready
+ Welcome gift (nice touch)
+ Large room
+ Gas fireplace which worked well
+ Comfortable king bed
+ Pleasant grounds
+ Separate entrance for this room
+ Convenient location
+ Excellent homemade breakfast with seating times to prevent crowding
Negatives:
- Road noise (on a very busy road, traffic including trucks 100 feet away)
- Musty smelling, we couldn't keep windows open at night due to road noise
- No sugar, etc. in room for coffee
- Bathroom outlets not working
- Bathroom door difficult to close
- Blinds were broken on one side, and just left standing in the corner of the room, these should have been removed if they could not be repaired
- Large piece of plastic left on the window sill, looked dirty there, not well cleaned
- Uncomfortable sleep sofa couch for sitting and small TV
- Microwave not working (actually it was after we figured out nobody plugged it in)
- Outside light over door is on automatic timers, too bright for the light filtering shade, so the room is lit up at night (we prefer a dark room for sleeping)
- Rosa backs up to the kitchen, and we could hear a lot of banging and noise at 10pm as they were doing prep work for the next morning
The negatives balance out the positives for a 3-star stay. Bottom line, we'd be unlikely to return, especially to that room. read more
