The Victorian Tudor Inn

Due to a misunderstanding, unfortunately we ended up not staying at the Victoria Tudor but I wanted to comment about Richard's kindness. Somehow I was under the impression that my reservation was not confirmed and totally panicked few days before the night we had planned to stay at the Victoria Tudor. As we were on an extended road trip with a baby and a toddler (in other words, chaotic), and not having access to my computer nor being able to remember the inn's name, I tried to find my reservation info using my iPhone but alas could not locate. Long story short, regretfully that night we ended up staying at the Marriott in Sandusky instead. Then later when I found my correspondence with Richard, I had contacted him to see if my card was charged; it was, since I was considered a no show, but he graciously offered me a 1 night replacement stay within one year. I explained to him that we were visiting from abroad and there was zero chance that we will be visiting OH in the coming year so instead asked for a 50% discount. Richard kindly agreed to my proposal. All of our e-mail conversations were very pleasant and I am sure our stay would have been very memorable and pleasant too, shame we did not make it. If we ever pass through this area again, I will definitely visit the inn and this time make sure to be more organized! Note: I scored all "outstanding" since I needed to enter something in order to write a review.

When I booked my room at the Victorian Tudor Inn, I was completely blown away by the time, attention, and amount of detail that Richard put into ensuring that our stay was excellent. I have never had a bed & breakfast care so much or respond so quickly to my email or phone call. He was very knowledgable about the area and his recommendations were perfect. There was nothing that he wasn't willing to do to care for us. We felt like we were family to him, he manner put us at ease and his sense of humor was very refreshing. We will only stay with him when we want to get away from it all. Afterall, once you find a slice of Heaven, why would you look any place else?

Loved this place , we stayed at the Nautical Room twice this yr. The innkeeper Richard is amazing. He is so hospitable and friendly , the rooms are clean and reasonable.

As we toured the Midwest looking for colleges for our daughter, we decided to stay in bed and breakfasts instead of hotels. We enjoyed them all, but the Victorian Tudor Inn stood out among them. Richard is truly a consummate host, and we so enjoyed every exchange with him. He made us feel right at home. The house itself is lovely and our suite was more than we could have imagined. The breakfast was also outstanding. Of the inns we stayed at, my husband was adamant that we plan another visit to the Victorian Tudor Inn this summer. It was the highlight of our travels!

Richard made us feel like family. He welcomed us to the inn, shared details about its life, and made us feel right at home. His knowledge about the surrounding community added to our dining experiences. The Victorian Tudor Inn is definitely a bed and breakfast we will visit again.

My husband and I stayed here in the Greenslade suite, and in the Nature room. Richard is by far the best inn keeper in the business. His home is adorned with amazing antiques he has privately collected over the years. He is very accommodating and knowledgeful of the areas attractions. His hospitality is top notch, with his fresh ground coffee, and delicious cooking. The privacy of the suites, and romantic atmosphere were phenominal. This is our favorite, and we plan for many future getaways here.

This was Simply the Nicest Place I have stayed in a While. The Innkeeper was fantastic, and took care of us in every detail. It is a Magnificent home, with lots of character for the Inn. The Room was immaculate, with a Private Bath, and was a Perfect Setting. With the Fresh Fallen Snow, i felt I was up in Maine ! It was truly a Wonderful Weekend, and all that attended were amazed at the Condition and efforts to make it a Weekend we cant forget ! Thank You !

This was our first stay at a B&B...I must say it will be hard to top this! Just elegant and romantic! Richard was very helpful!!!!

During our first visit we were thoroughly impressed; and our second and thrid visits were even better. We have actually determined this is the best B & B we've stayed at out of about two dozen over they years. The Innkeeper is so accommodating on check out , check in, breakfasts, etc. He even remembers the type of pop we like and makes sure he has some on hand. His attention to detail, in everyway is quite amazing. The Inn is historic and has outstanding antiques and painitngs, but we are appreciative of the modern conveniences as well. The suites are spacious and very comfortable and clean. Again, we highly recommend this B & B.

Richard is a wonderful host. His inn is a beautiful late Victorian/early Arts & Crafts home, filled with his charming collections. We loved his hospitality, the breakfasts, and his knowledge of the area and its history. We'll be back! The Nautica suite is in the southeast corner of the 2nd floor, at the front of the inn. It is a great room for early morning sun. If you prefer a darker room - suggest trying a suite at the back of the inn.

the alumni board for a college group i am involved in met at the Victorian Tudor Inn with our undergraduate counterparts for an intense 2 day retreat for evaluation and goal setting. The inn was the perfect location. The rooms and meeting facilities were comfortable, warm, and conducive to open and honest communication. Richard Stegman, the innkeeper, aside from being our host also facilitated the meeting. he guided the discussion and brought out thoughtful and meaningful discussion points. Everyone involved considered this a great event held at a great location.

Just prior to Christmas our extended family had to go home ( Bellevue) due to my mother passing. We had stayed in other facilities on prior visits, but all were less than acceptable in all areas. For the additional $20 to $40 dollars a night, the Tudor Inn is outstanding in more areas than the five noted above. Under the circumstances, we had a wonderful stay & Richard was so kind in offering to adjust our departure time as a result of the funeral. I have read all the other positive reviews & to concur would be an understatement. I look forward to future visits & staying in Richard's B&B. Richard is the consummate host. Thank-you for such a wonderful stay.

My wife and I recently had the utmost pleasure of visiting and staying the weekend at the Vitotian Tudor Inn. This Inn is a MUST see and experience! The Inn is spacious, decorated beautifully and well kept. Imagine perfection...here it is! Our host and Inn Keeper Richard was the perfect mix of host, cook, friend, and now, I would also like to add family. As we departed, my wife said, " I feel like I've just spent the weekend at the home of a friend..not at a B & B! You must experience this for yourself...but be prepared, bcuase after staying here, you will NEVER want to stay anywhere else, becuase anywhere else will pale in comparison. NOT enough words to say how GREAT this was ... To our NEW friend Richard ...WELL DONE!

Thank you Richard for providing a wonderful place for a quick get away. The home is beautiful and interesting! We enjoyed just looking at all of your unique antiques and Christmas decorations. Breakfast was delicious. We felt right at home as we needed a quick get away after dealing with flooding at our home!

Staying at the Victorian Tudor Inn was phenomenal. Everything was perfect! We plan on returning in the spring. The Inn keeper was absolutely fantastic. The food, the rooms, the service, the recommendations... everything.

Thanks for making my friend & I feel like family. The Doctor & Marathoner who has traveled extensively looks forward to returning. What a special " Port in the Storm " ! Where did you get that chocolate ??? For those who appreciate wine, food & the ambiance in life, it is a must place to visit !

Tucked away on a residential street in the small town of Bellevue (Northern Ohio), is the picturesque Victorian Tudor Inn Bed & Breakfast. We were greeted at the door by Innkeeper Richard Stegman and his warm welcoming smile, then taken on a grand tour of this more than 7500 square foot historic English tudor, built in 1906. Each of the delicately designed guest rooms are filled with antiques and collectibles, gathered and purchased by Richard over the years. Richard mentions that there were so many antique pieces he found that spoke to his heart, he knew he could not re-sell them… they would eventually have resting place. Relaxing in the living room after a long drive, with a glass of wine in hand, we had tantalizing conversations with Richard and some of his other guests. Mary and Jane, out-of-towners who frequent the B&B often, tell us: “The Victorian Tudor Inn is like a journey back in time. A perfect anecdote to the fast paced world…a step away from the rat race.” “We feel welcome and at home in a way that we don’t feel at other accommodations.” The morning after our arrival, the aroma of fresh, local bacon frying danced in the air enticing me to seek out the kitchen. The fresh fruit, cinnamon French toast and juices welcomed me to the table. Cooked to order hot Belgian waffles, extra large country eggs or omelets, served with the vegetables and cheese of your choice were just minutes away. This delectable breakfast made for a king, or queen, is the perfect start to anyone’s day! Richard’s warm personality and optimistic charm made us feel as if we had been on an overnight visit with our own family.

The innkeeper makes the B&B and Richard was wonderful - very upbeat and friendly - spent a lot of time talking with us.

The innkeeper has become a person dear to my heart in just my first visit to his inn. He has a genuine love of people and sincerely wishes each guest to enjoy his/her stay. He was exceptionally accomodative to our schedule. The chocolates on the nightstand are the BEST i've ever had- gotta find out how to get more.!!!!!

We have stayed at dozens of B & B's in the midwest and New England, NONE as wonderful as The Victorian Tudor Inn. The innkeeper ,Richard, is so accommodating and ready to meet your needs, but yet not intrusive at all. The Inn is amazingly beautiful, such detail everywhere and so clean. Seems every holiday has their decorations and Halloween was no different; great unique and interesting decorations were up for the Fall and Halloween. The breakfast was probably one of the best we ever had and served when we requested and GREAT coffee. I would highly recommend this B & B!!

From the moment I arrived, the innkeeper Mr. Stegman was a gracious and accomodating host. His B&B is impeccable and the themed rooms are well appointed and spacious. The environment is very relaxing and warm and he has done a great job in ensuring that our party was well taken care of. The breakfast that he served the following morning was amazing and ranks among the top breakfasts I have ever had. I highly recommend this B&B!!!

Our first experience with a Bed and Breakfast was great. Rooms were very clean, had our own private bath and Rick, the innkeeper, was very pleasant and outgoing. He was very knowledgeable about the area and able to give suggestions for site seeing trips. This B&B makes me want to try more.

Twice a year we invite our clients to join us for an outing. Historically we provided overnight accomodations at local motels. This year we decided to try something different. Twice we reserved the entire Inn and had an excellent steak dinner provided by the Inn. The food was excellent along with the fine wine. Our guests truly enjoyed the suites, food and the stay. The Inn Keeper was personable, friendly and attentative to our guests. They are excited to join us again next year. We plan to book again for May and September 2012. I would recommend this establishment to other professionals for meetings, dinners and overnight stays. It is quiet, classy and a place where your clients can relax and be themselves.

This is a nice address to stay for a night near the lake Erie, less expensive than directly on the shore. The owner is very friendly and welcoming, without being intrusive. The bedroom we slept in was big and comfortable, but we heard the trains honking the whole night (for sure the windows are not double-glazed!).

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Bellevue is certainly a railroad town. Having grown up in Bellevue I tend to forget that some can be sensitive to the train whistles. Honestly, we rarely have complaints, as evidenced by our reviews. However, if you might be sensitive to trains I would suggest our suites in the very rear of the Inn, the Greenslade and The Royal Oak. The train whistles from those suites are very subdued b/c this is an Historical Home with very thick walls with field stones on the exterior.

- Richard (innkeeper)

Stayed at this B&B in October 2011. It was a great experience. Richard, the Innkeeper was accommodating, gracious and tremendously available. The property is in an excellent location and is beautifully decorated and competitively priced. I want to move into that place. I slept so well and even got some work done while I was there. Thank you very much for an enjoyable stay!!

We stayed at this B & B in early September. It is absolutely beautiful! The house is amazing with great history and architecture. We stayed in the Greenslade Suite - breathtaking! From the huge whirlpool tub to the beautiful details in the room, the evening was perfect. We wish we could have stayed much longer than 1 night! Richard is the perfect innkeeper - full of knowledge, suggestions, history, great breakfast, and very fun to be around! We can't wait to be back.

We stayed here on our wedding night, because we didn't want to leave town. It was very nice!! Room and bed was comfortable. Service for breakfast was great, homemade waffles and bacon. We even picked the time we wanted to eat at. Overall a very nice bed and breakfast!!

The Victorian Tudor Inn is elegant inside and out, but the minute Richard welcomes you, you know that you will feel at home here. No velvet ropes separate you from the museum quality furnishings. The photographs do not do justice to the spacious guest rooms and their baths. The kitchen is always available for coffee, tea, and snacks, and we enjoyed our own wine and cheese on the porch as well as seated comfortably in front of the massive stone fireplace. Breakfast time is flexible, and Richard easily accommodates reasonable requests and late risers. His specialty waffles are incredibly light! I left hoping for a reason to return to the Bellevue area to stay at this inn again.

Lived in Bellevue for 21 yrs. I hope the town appreciates the outstanding addition this B & B gives it. Outstanding friendly service, caters to your every desire. Will be the only place in the area that I would stay!

This Bed and Breakfast is absolutely the best I have ever visited in the United States or Europe! Words cannot express how well the Innkeeper Richard attends to every detail of his beautiful home and to the wants and needs of his guests. Imagine finding a selection of chilled wines in the refrigerator! I felt welcome the minute I entered and absolutely did not want to leave when my stay was over. Thank you Richard for a delightful weekend!! I'll be back.

Richard was very personable and extremely hospitable. Our stay could not have been better, every aspect of it was wonderful. Our breakfast was delicious. Richard took such care in making certain that all of our needs were met. The house is absolutely beautiful!

We stayed at this little spot during a honeymoon road trip from Chicago to Boston. It is about 6 hours outside of Chicago. This inn is absolutely awesome. The proprietor is lovely, friendly, interesting to talk with. The inn is filled with antiques that he and his wife collected over the years. It is immaculate. The owner is also known for his skills in the kitchen and we were not disappointed.

We were so impressed by the accommodations and Service at the Victorian Tudor. We were enthusiastically greeted by Richard who helped give us information and insight to the area. We spent a great day enjoying Cedar Point and then relaxed at our inn. It was the perfect compliment to an outdoor day of adventure. Taking a relaxing bath and snuggling up in the big four poster bed was the cherry on top of our night. The next morning we were met with the most delicious breakfast. We felt relaxed, spoiled and got a chance to get to know some of the other guests--who were also enjoying their stay. I would definitely recommend it to any friend and look forward to making a return visit!

I really enjoyed the Innkeeper's warm and welcoming demeanor, I absolutely loved the home's decor and enchanting furnishings. My room, the "Nautica Suite" was beautiful and cozy and comfortable. And I slept better than I have in a long time. I'd say those are some of the highlights of my stay there. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

Richard Stegman was very gracious and a great chef! He took the time to show his amazing collection of antique glassware and spent time in conversation with us. Even though he wasn't feeling well Sunday morning, he still made breakfast for us. Above and beyond service!

My fiance and I had a wonderful stay here. Richard is a fantastic host, the room and house were beautifully furnished, and the inn policies were very accommodating. Thank you!

My husband and I, our son and his friend stayed here recently and it was the best experience I've had staying anywhere! Hands down! The rooms are absolutely gorgeous as well as the entire house. Beautiful antiques that any antique lover would be jealous of. The value was unbeatable. Then there's Richard, the owner/host.....he is the most personable, knowledgable and gracious person one will ever meet. He makes sure your stay is like no other. We enjoyed it so much that we are sending our parents there for a gift. GREAT JOB RICHARD! Do I recommend this place??? YOU BETCHA!

We had a great stay at the Tudor Inn. The rooms were roomy and decorated very nice. We were very comfortable with and pleased with the climate and cleanliness of our quarters. Richard was a great host and made us feel very welcome. He did a great job on the breakfasts and made our stay quit enjoyable. He made us feel welcome to enjoy any part of the house, but yet had our own privacy. For the price I feel it was a great value.

Impressed from the beginning to the end! We were greeted by a friendly feline on the driveway and a pleasant host at the door. Everything was just spectacular, the home was tastefully decorated, the room was clean and comfortable and breakfast was yummy! A highly recommended stay!

The Victorian Inn is a beautiful tranquil home in which to escape the stress of the world. Each room in the house is a filled with beautiful antiques that are breath takingly beautiful. After a day of sight seeing you can relax on the big front porch and enjoy a glass of wine from the frig which the owner provides. Rihard Stegman is a charming host willing to serve. He accommodate the members of our group who were glutin intolerant when he served breakfast. I would gladly return when I travel back to the area.

This is a beautiful home with a highly dedicated and solicitous owner. We highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

Only stayed one night and left wishing the stay could have been longer. Richard, the innkeeper, was a very gracious host. the inn was beautifully furnished in Victorian era furniture and I felt like I had gone back in time. the atmosphere was serene and peaceful which was exactly what was needed after a long day of traveling and sightseeing.

Richard the charity clasic was eventful and the acomadations were elegant & gracious. From the tasteful decor to the great breakfast the stay was marvelous. My guest who was a senior in a firm and well traveled looks forward to visiting again soon. If there was a harbor near by , one would have thought they were in Boston.

From the moment you pull up to the door of this unique inn you are swept away by it's beauty. Then you are awestruck as you walk thru the door - it's elegant but very welcoming. Our children are 16 and 12 and their eyes lit up, they were happy from the start. They were originally disappointed when we told them we were not staying at a hotel with a pool. After 30 seconds upon arrival that didn't matter anymore. Richard greeted us at the door and a friendship began. We checked in, asked about the history of the home. Found out Rockefeller sat in the dining room to ask for money that proceeded to start his empire. My husband and I stayed in the Greenslade Suite with the kids in the Bellevue Room. It's a whole wing of the second floor and it's lovely. Beds were all comfortable, the decor is beautiful, and the jacuzzi tub - divine. (Especially after a long day walking around Cedar Point!) Richard makes as terrific breakfast, and he all provides snacks, wine and other beverages 24 a day. One of the unexpected bonuses to staying at the Victorian Tudor was on our trip to Cedar Point our GPS gave us a back way into Cedar Point we missed all the bumper to bumper traffic getting into the park. Instead we took the Rye Beach Rd exit and went a round about way, driving down a causeway on Lake Erie. It saved a ton of time and the scenery was beautiful. We enjoyed seeing all the gorgeous and very unique beachfront homes. I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone. You cannot beat the pricing for the service and ambiance that you receive. Whether you are staying to go to Cedar Point, the wineries, or just need a romantic getaway - Richard will make your stay enjoyable.

I have never been to a B&B before and was a little nervous, but we had the most wonderful stay. It was beyond our expextations in every level. The rooms were very spacious, private and would of never known there were other people in the house. Breakfast was served whenever time suited us, and we were the only ones at the table. Richard was very kind, helpful and always available if we had questions, needed directions and went above and beyond to make us comfortable. We will go back in the near future & spread the word.

My husband and I spent 5 days and 4 nights at the Victorian Tudor Inn for our honeymoon, and the pictures and description do not do it justice. Richard, the owner and innkeeper, is friendly, interested, good-natured and incredibly accommodating. He asked us each night when we wanted breakfast the next day and then gave us a choice of what we could have, even buying special treats for us. We had chocolates and red roses ready in the suite, which also had a Jacuzzi bath. Everything was impeccably clean. My husband and I relaxed on the huge porch in the morning, and Richard actually brought coffee out for us at about 7:00 AM. If you want the absolutely perfect honeymoon getaway, stop right at the Victorian Tudor Inn, and don't leave unless you HAVE to.

The Victorian Tudor Inn is truly one of the gems of northwest Ohio. We stayed at The Victorian Tudor Inn for our honeymoon and are so happy we choose it. The home is breathtaking, and our suite (the Greenslade Suite) exceeded every expectation. The suite was enormous, and the Jacuzzi tub was perfect for two. Our innkeeper, Richard, is a charming gentleman who makes his guests feel like treasured friends. From the first moment we walked up the side steps, we were greeted by Richard and Russell, a neighbor’s adorable cat that spends most days on the inn’s front porch. It is obvious Richard loves what he does. He makes the most wonderful breakfasts, so bring your appetites. Request his delectable waffles a day in advance because it is a special recipe that needs to “proof” overnight. We were also treated to wine, coffee and snacks any time we wished. Richard also provided us with special “extras” like homemade chocolates from a local shop and a wine tasting at Hermes Winery (tip: enjoy a glass of wine out in the vineyard around 10pm Friday and Saturday during the summer and you’ll have a perfect view of the Cedar Point fireworks). He also set up a manicure for me at a local salon. The location of The Victorian Tudor Inn is very convenient to local attractions. Cedar Point and Port Clinton (if you’d like to catch a ferry to the Lake Erie Islands) are only 20 minutes away. Larger cities, like Toledo and Cleveland, are about 45 minutes to an hour away. As a final note, my husband was pretty cautious about staying at a B&B for our honeymoon. Our stay at The Victorian Tudor Inn completely changed his opinion. We are already planning our next stay for later in the year. Thank you, Richard, for making our stay so special!!

My husband and I recently stayed at the gorgeous Victorian Tudor Inn and what a great stay it was! Richard is such a down to earth, kind, generous host and made a great breakfast served with pleasant conversation. He respected our privacy but was quick to offer his assistance where possible. Our room was beautiful, spacious, AND SO CLEAN!! My husband commented on how even the bed pillows smelled fresh! I'm a big clean freak, and this place made me very happy. Our Jacuzzi tub was amazing too. It was a lovely stay and a good value!

This B & B has set the bar for all others that follow for us. It was all in the details and the Innkeeper, Richard. Additionally, the cost of just regular motels around here in the summer exceed with The Victorian Tudor Inn charges, with all their extras, and there are many. And, their price includes tax. And you get free cookies, fresh fruits, bottled water, pop, etc. The Inn is so clean and designed like right from a magazine, yet so comfortable to be in. The breakfasts are delicious, and Richard prepares a different one each morning for you. And honestly, I have never, ever had any better coffee than he prepares - he mixes different beans and grinds them fresh each morning. We did not want to leave at the end of our three day stay. We so needed the relaxation The Victorian Tudor Inn provided us.

We stayed in the Greenslade Suite - very large, quiet and private. Each room is graced with lovely antiques. What a beautiful getaway just 45 minutes from home.

We recently spent a weekend at the Victorian Tudor Inn in Bellevue, Oh. The innkeeper, Richard is a delight and is very attentive to your needs, or very discreet should you choose. For couples or newlyweds seeking a wonderful getaway, the Greenslade Suite is perfect. Beautiful room, comfy bed, fantastic bathroom, all in its own 'wing' of the upstairs--you feel like you have the entire place to yourselves. The rest of the inn is gorgeous as well, and fun to just wander around or sit and have coffee in one of its public spaces. We will definitely return for another visit!

A lovely area with antique and historic venues and an easy drive to Lake Erie for dinner!

It was a very nice experience our week-end stay at The Victorian Tudor Inn...You have all the privacy that you want, the house is well-maintained , the location is nice and the keeper is polite and charming!!!

Richard, I wanted to send a note of thanks & sincerest appreciation for your graciouness and warm hospitality extended upon my arrival & through my time spent at your Inn. The accomodations were comfrotable, the atmosphere relaxing and the dinner rivaled any upscale restaurant's best offerings. The service you provide is second-to-none. Without hesitation, I will recommend The Victorian Tudor Inn to any of my visiting family, friends, or business associates here at Sylecrest. The Victorian Tudor Inn would be a wonderful family get away.

We were glad to see the Victorian Tudor was even more beautiful in person than on the web-site. Our host, Richard, added so many personal touches to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. Plus his knowledge of the area helped us find entertainment and restaurants to enjoy. Would highly recommend it to others and will plan to return to this B&B whenever we are in the area.

Wonderful place, Richard is a supurb host. We would deifinitely stop again,

Loved the Inn. Richard is quite charming, and his deluxe breakfast was wonderful. My wife and I arrived Saturday night and were warmly greeted. The Nature Room was quite large, with two double beds...the kind that have mattresses so high you have to almost jump into bed. So comfortable! And some homemade chocolate covered goodies were waiting for us on the side table. The TV has 600 channels, and we had access to a lot of movie channels. The adjoining bathroom was spacious and well accomodated. Oh, the house...well, it's has a stone exterior, and is beautiful. The interior is just full of little knick knacks that Richard has collected. Eclectic is the word that jumps to mind. And there are a number of folk art pieces scattered throughout. There were a total of 10 people in the house the night we stayed, but we never heard a sound from anyone. The house is on the main street in Bellevue...nlot something I expected. About two doors down is a Wendy's. Once inside the house, you would never know it though. It's very quite and feels removed from any road noise....and our room was on the front of the house. Check in and check out were painless and friendly. We would definitely have loved to have stayed a few more nights!

I am a member Of the Mature Readers bookclub and every year we go on a retreat to a B&B. We had so much fun we decided to return next year. The house was accomodating to the members. Richard was hospitable and an amazing cook. The rooms are spacious and impecably furnished clean. I could go and on. Richard you are Great!!!!!! Emily

We stayed at the Inn in late April. What a wonderful, relaxing and beautiful place we picked!!! Richard is a great host. Unfortunately, we could only spend one night at the Inn, but we plan a longer stay soon.

I found this amazing B and B by way of my book club's annual retreat. From the moment we walked in we were in love. The inn keeper, Richard, was so kind and welcoming it eased any anxieties we may have had. He made sure our every need or want was met, even going out to buy another bottle of that fabulous wine that we drank up. (He had the wine waiting for us when we arrived!) I went into this looking to get away from my husband and kids (3 boys), with friends and to have a good time. I walked away with a place that I will surely go back to again, with the book club and without them. Thanks so much Richard.

My daughters and I wanted to stay at a B&B for a Mother's Day getaway and chose the Victorian Tudor Inn. The online pictures were really nice and the victorian style that we were looking for. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed. The Inn was more than we had hoped for, it was just Beautiful!! We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite and had our own beds. It was quiet and homey, just what we were looking for! Breakfast was Fabulous.Thanks so much Richard for your warm hospitality, we will definitely be back!

My husband and I stated at the Victorian Tudor B&B and were overwhelmed with the beauty of the B&B. Richard is an excellent innkeeper. He makes a great pot of coffee!!! We plan to make this B&B a destination.

I am now returned to the U.K. and I just wanted to thank you Richard for the excellent and profundly relaxing stay that I had in Bellevue at The Victorian Tudor Inn at the beginning of this month. You have a truly wonderful place there and a way of making people feel very much at home which is what I did! It was a perfect end to what had been a rather stressful couple of weeks and thank you once again for your hospitality ... and your lovely French Toast ... which will become something I will offer friends when they come to stay with me in the future!!

I had the privilege of visiting the Victorian Tudor in Bellevue, Ohio and meeting Richard. I was there with a combined party of 9 women and we all had a wonderful time. The inn was immaculate and at the same time very welcoming. I felt less like I was at a room that I had rented and more like I was welcomed into a friends home who knew that I needed to relax. Breakfast was delicious from one day to the next, the hot tub was completly relaxing and even the other guests on our second day were as sweet as they could be. The rooms were all very spacious and anything that we could have needed was right there. If this has not sold you Richard was GREAT! From giving so many suggestions of local things to enjoy like the wonderful vinyard that had the wine tastings to museums and even how to schedule a massage right at the B&B. He was very accomidating to our needs (of which there were many), as well as being very social but not an overbearing presence. I particularly enjoyed talking and laughing with him and another lady in my group in the kitchen on our second morning while I enjoyed a cup of coffee. Even on our way out of town we stopped at athe local grocery store and the people there had nothing but nice things to say about him. My bookclub has made a tradition of taking a retreat at the same time every year for 10 years now and this is the first time that we have enjoyed ourselves so much that before leaving we book our next retreat a year in advance to return and someone even suggested making this our permenet retreat location. Thank you again Richard for a wonderful stay and I cannot wait to see you next year. Latanya G

After weeks of staring into computer screens at our respecive offices, my friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a little weekend escape--and we couldn't have been more pleased with the Victorian Tudor Inn. Richard is a delightful host whose lifelong passion for the Victorian aesthetic is reflected throughout his lovely home. And French toast and bacon in the morning... marvelous. We'll be back.

This is a wonderful place. The massage therapist that comes is excellent and the location is proximate to some cool wineries and restaurants (Zinc in Sandusky).

We chose the Royal Oak Suite for our two night stay. Even though the temperature was cold outside, we were cozy and warm in this first floor suite with radiant heat floors. Breakfasts were delicious. Richard is a gracious host and was very helpful in suggesting local restaurants and antique shops. The entire inn is beautifully decorated with period accessories and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Richard is such a nice man. He goes to great lengths to make sure the rooms are nice and clean and he suggests places to eat that give discounts. He was helpful and friendly. I got the couples package which was very nice in the Nautica Room. Everything exceeded my expectations! Wonderful wine, free wine tasting at Hermes Vineyard, roses, and chocolates really set the mood.

We always wanted to go to a B&B so I decided to take my wife for her B-day 2yrs ago, I stumbled across the Tudor Inn on-line we went and have been coming back ever since. Richard is very knowledgeable of the surrounding area and seems able to conversate about anything. His omelots are top-notch too. Thanks for always providing us with a great time.

We had an absolutely lovely time at the Inn! Our innkeeper was extremely friendly and more than amiable about early check in and late check out. They had plenty of above average amenities. Our room was very private and quiet even though were were not the only guests. My expectations were definitely exceeded in many ways!

My husband & I stayed for just one evening in the Greenslade Suite on 12/4. Beautiful house & awesome suite! Richard was so nice & makes a delicious breakfast. The jacuzzi is nice and big and so relaxing! Can't wait to stay again.

While only a little over an hour away, the Victorian Tudor Inn felt like we could've been in London! The accommodations and the host, Richard, far exceeded our expectations. We are going back the weekend before Christmas - just to escape, albeit briefly, the hustle and bustle of this time of year. Its our Christmas gift to each other and we can hardly wait to get away!

I stayed at the Victorian Tudor Inn over Halloween weekend. It was a planned weekend stay and we were going to visit friends and go to Cedar Point. The Inn was beautiful and the Inn Keeper was very nice and well informed about the area. It was so nice to relax and start the day off with a wonderful breakfast. I would recommend this Bed and Breakfast to anyone staying in or around Bellevue.

I booked this getaway for my wife to celebrate her birthday and the end of the high school football season (I coach and my wife never complains, even after 20 years). Richard was fantastic in helping to plan the whole trip, from dinner reservations to massages, to early check-in and my wife had no clue. We had a peaceful, relaxing stay and breakfast was amazing. We have stayed at numerous B&B's over the years and this ranks at the top of the list. We will make a return visit I'm sure and probably have to bring the kids along with us:-(!!!

Richard, the owner, was very helpful in planning this trip and in recommending things to do in the area. He offered to arrange them as well. (I recommend the railroad museum.) The house itself is quite interesting and comfortable.

Large room and bath. Beautiful antiques. Fresh, delicious breakfasts. Charming host. We would return.

We went to Clyde to visit my ancestral roots - Great Grandfather's gravesite at St. Mary's - and stayed in order to visit church on the morning. The Victoria Tudor Inn was an extremely convenient site for our purposes and turned out to be an extremely pleasant visit and site for any occasion. Outstanding hospitality and graciousness pervaded out stay and we would certainly return when we revisit the area. The Glora Experience

Spent a very relaxing weekend away from the hustle and bustle, but near enough to many interesting and enjoyable pastimes. Richard was a gracious and accommodating host. The inn is an exquisite home with enough eclectic furnishings to make just wandering around an experience in itself. Our suite was spacious, well decorated in keeping with the theme of the room, and secluded enough that we thought we were the only ones there ... until we enjoyed a great breakfast with some other, very nice guests. Try it!

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Victorian Tudor in August 21, 2010 for my birthday. It was our first vacation as a "couple". I have stayed in many B&B, but this was a first for my boyfriend and I could sense he was a bit apprehensive about the whole B&B idea. I can happily say that our stay here may have turned him away from ever wanting to stay at a hotel again! We stayed in the Nautical Room and it was gorgeous! The room and adjoining bath were spacious and extremely clean. The bed was a slice of heaven! We had plans to go to Cedar Point two days, but we ended up lounging around in the bed and relaxing in the huge jacuzzi tube the first day! Neither of us missed the trip to Cedar Point! Richard was very gracious and was there if you needed something, but invisable when you didn't! The breakfast was fantastic as well, cinnamin french toast. My boyfriend said he wishes he could have had a dozen slices! All in all, it was a very romantic relaxing weekend! Thanks Richard!

This was my wife and I first B&B and it was exceptional. The innkeeper greated us with a friendly welcome. Our room was the better than staying in a hotel because of the privacy and spaciousness, along with accessability to everything in the house for the price. We were only 30 min away from the ferry to get to Put in Bay and a host of other choices of entertainment or sightseeing. The breakfast was very good which says a lot because my wife and I are breakfast people. We would recommend staying at this lovely historic Victorian Inn especially if your looking for home away from home feel.

Richard, thank you so much for a wonderful stay last weekend! My sons and I really loved the space in the Greenslade Suite, and the rooms were truly lovely!! We enjoyed breakfast, as well! Having stayed at various hotels in the area when we visit family in Norwalk, many overpriced around "Cedar Point season," it was so nice to find such a beautiful place to stay that was well worth the money!

This was our second stay at The Victorian Tudor Inn and were happy with our first, but our second visit was even better. And how nice because this visit we brought our parents. They now know why we talked so much about our first stay. My parents said they haven't seen such beautiful things and such a wonderful home for over 40-50 years. Again, Richard, the Innkeeper was there for our every need, but yet knew when to give us privacy. The Inn was sold out, and had been for quite some time, yet all was handled with grace and our breakfasts were made as if we were the only guests there. The Inn is so clean, smells so wonderful, and is so inviting. Richard keeps adding complimentary items for his guests which makes his B & B a great value. It is obvious that people are hearing about and finding this Inn and we are afraid its going to be harder to get reservations! But, we are happy for Richard and his family. We are already booked for Christmas.

The Victorian Tudor Inn is simply the finest B&B we have ever found. Everything about the inn is exceptional: the comfort of the rooms, the beauty of the antiques, but most of all the graciousness of the host. Highly recommended!

Our stay at The Victorian Tudor Inn by far exceeded our expectations. Richard is a charming, easy to talk with host who happily recommended local attractions and restaurants, and provided a quick (but informative!) antiques lesson over breakfast. The Inn is a treasure trove of collectibles and antiques, and a CLEAN and comfortable getaway in the Vacationland of Ohio. Breakfast was yummy and diverse - great coffee. We had such a wonderful time, we can't wait to try out another bed and breakfast. We have already recommended the Victorian Tudor Inn to our friends, and hope to visit again soon!

My wife and I, at 80 years young, are very picky about our overnight accommodations. So, rarely do we find a wonderful Inn like The Victorian Tudor Inn. We didn't even have to use the stairs as they have a suite on the first floor, with the most comfortable bed and unique large bathroom. We didn't get upstairs, but the entire first floor is just a sight to behold. BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL!!! Honestly, we spent half our time admiring the items on display. The breakfasts were different each morning and not a single complaint. Richard, thank you, you made us both so very happy. We really don't have a computer at home, but insisited Richard let us use his once we found out that we could leave this feedback.

Rick, the inkeeper was wonderful and very accomodating. The B & B is beautiful. Recommend it highly.

Our stay at The Victorian Tudor Inn was delightful. We have stayed at many small Inns over 10 years and we have to say this past weekend was just one of the best. The Inn and Innkeeper was very professional and social. He was helpful in directing us to the best places to eat, and we were surprised at how many this town had. The Inn was so nicely appointmented, like right out of a magazine. This B & B was recommended by friends who loved it when they stayed, and now we will recommend it! And I must mention the breakfast as it was great, the waffles unlike any I have ever had previously. Its the Innkeepers own recipe and he'll even share it.

After staying at over 100 B&Bs, it was sad to have such a bad experience. It started when no one was there when we arrived at the designated check in time. Then the innkeeper said he couldn't have breakfast before 9:30 the next morning because he runs the farmer's market in town. Then, there wasn't even butter for a piece of toast. Also, the kitchen, a public room was a mess. To top it all we paid more here than any where else on our entire trip. Don't know where everyone else stayed that did a review.

I apologize to these quests. Unfortunately, they never expressed any displeasure. I choose not to share with them that my father just died a couple days earlier. I felt that was not something I wanted to "burden" them with and I didn't believe there was any need to do so. It is taken me awhile to even share this at this time. Yes, I had forgotten to purchase butter. I implore all guests to please inform your Innkeepers when not satisfied.

- Richard (innkeeper)

What a wonderful gem! Richard is an excellent host and this Inn is fabulous. I have stayed in wonderful hotels and B&Bs across the world, and this is one of the best-appointed that I have ever had the pleasure of visiting! The antiques are amazing! I liked the combination of the Victorian charm and the convenience of the wifi and flat-screen tv, as we could enjoy the past while keeping up with our busy lives. The aforementioned waffles are "to die for". Richard has done a wonderful job providing a truly first-class experience. His knowledge and expertise is apparent throughout the property. We will definitely be back!

I just want to start by saying that the Victorian Tudor Inn is perhaps the most beautiful B & B I have ever stayed at. I've stayed at several over the past 5 years and I haven't found one as breath taking as this. From the decor to the attention to detail throughout the home, you have captured the ultimate feel of relaxation and harmony. Patti and I had an amazing time with you and the other guest's at breakfast, and we felt well rested in the morning! Your hospitality was more than we could of hoped for. Thank you very much for your suggestion on dinner at Zinc's. It was lovely. We hope to return and stay with you in the near future, as the Inn and dinner at Zinc's are on the "to do " list from here on out!

Our family was completely impressed with Richard, the Innkeeper, and his Inn. We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at the bed & breakfast during the first week of December. Richard did a wonderful job at decorating the grounds and the Inn with holiday decorations throughout. Add with the typical Ohio winter weather outside wonderful memories were made. The Inn is located within a few minutes walk of the historic downtown. And, Richard’s breakfast lived up to the reviews. The waffles are magnificent! While waiting for breakfast, I encourage you to tap Richard’s local knowledge. The Inn has become our new second home when we visit Northern Ohio. I would highly recommend a stay at The Victorian Tudor Inn.

During my father's funeral, my husband and I were fortunate enough to find this quaint, comfortable B&B. The owner, Rick, was wonderful. He cooked us a full, delicious breakfast and was at our beck and call. Don't miss this place. Rooms so clean and comfortable.

WOW, where do I begin! Being 36 years young, its always been a dream to stay in a Bed and Breakfast and I am so thankful it was The Victorian Tudor Inn! The decor is just amazing, each room is set up and makes you feel like you are somewhere magical! Cocktails at 5pm, by the fireplace or on the front porch swing, after strolling beautiful downtown Bellevue, coming back and enjoying the hot tub! This is is my favorite part, breakfast!! Yummo describes the homemade waffles (absolutey to die for!! Dont miss breakfast!), bacon, juices, coffee,fresh muffins, etc. You cant compare this morning experience anywhere! Rick, the owner, has found his niche! You will never find an Inn Keeper so into making your stay the most comfortable and memorable one ever. I guarentee you will not leave without booking your next fairytale stay! Just amazing and I loved every minute!

My boyfriend and I have been traveling traveling for the last two weeks planning our trip based solely on B & B's that look interesting to us. Our stay at The Victorian Tudor Inn has been by far the best and most wonderful stay for us. The amenities, the decor and clearly the service was outstanding. This is truly a unique Inn in an exciting area with many different spots to visit. Richard could not have been more helpful to us and was such a professional Innkeeper. The suites are large and so wonderfully appointed with quite expansive private bathrooms. I loved wearing our spa robe and even bought one as I never felt one so comfortable. It was so clean and had wonderful smells of various different candles. This was the only B & B that provided us a large flatscreen HDTV with so channels, including HBO. We are looking forward to our return trip back to CO as this will be the only Inn that we will stay a second time at.

I had higher expectations of service based on all the reviews. Nothing in the categories offered for rating wowed me. The service reviews built my expectations up so that I was prepared to be swept off my feet, but I wasn’t. The service wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I was explicit in my e-mail that the massage and romance package were a surprise for our 8th anniversary, but while showing my husband and I around, the innkeeper spilled the beans. Afterward, the very nice, plush robe didn't come with slippers as advertised, and it barely fit. It's medium; I'm not. We couldn't adjust the A/C, so I was cold. The house was beautiful, the landscaping was great, the innkeeper was polite, the two-person tub was pleasant, the shampoos and such were classy, the red wine from that package was wonderful, and the waffles were delightful. But that wasn't enough to make up for the snafus and oversight. If you are after atmosphere only, then stay. There's no lack of that.

My girlfriend and I wanted to stay somewhere nice are Cedar Point, and thankfully we found the Victorian Tudor Inn. The house, kitchen, rooms and suite were impeccable. The innkeeper was accommodating and extremely friendly, not to mention a good cook. I implore you to stay 15 minutes away from Cedar Point and have a wonderful visit to Sandusky

From the moment we were greated by Rick, the Innkeeper, we felt right at home. We arrived at night and the Inn was magically lit outside displaying all its beauty and the inside smelled lovely and looked grand with special candles and antique lighting. Our room was tastefully decorated, clean and so comfortable. The breakfast was a gourmet breakfast with (really) fresh baked, homemade waffles, pure Ohio maple syrup and other choices which are prepared individually to your taste. And served on antique china with candlelight. We were just traveling for some relaxation, but found the Inn to be so romantic with it's various parlors and wonderful and interesting antiques. The Victorian Tudor Inn is without a doubt worth a visit; it has been our best stay at a B & B.

This delightful inn is convenient to Cleveland, Toledo, and Columbus where all my friends were coming from, and merits more superlatives than this review can accommodate. But I'll try: it is a magnificent historical property with a magnetic host, and amazing breakfasts. The "amazing", Victorian style rooms, equipped with Jacuzzis couldn't be more comfotable"and Innkeepr Richard Stegman will cater to your every need. Unlike some B&Bs, it has facilities for fun and work: a hot tub room, exercise room, beautiful "hidden" garden area, meeting rooms, business office(fax, printer, computer, etc.) and even a "treat" room stocked with many complimentary refreshments; and an amazing special coffee dispenser offering dozens of different types of coffees and teas: And they taste wonderful! Our stay could not have been better; it seemed like our every desires were attended. The Inn has an amazing decor,tastefully decorated, very cozy, yet spacious. It truly was a place for us to "escape" and get some needed rest and relaxation. The on-site massages were also a nice touch. For anyone needing a relaxful or romantic weekend I strongly recommend a stay at The Victorian Tudor Inn. Thanks Rick for all you did for us.

The Victorian Tudor Inn was an outstanding B & B for us to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The website looked great and the comments were wonderful, so we booked a weekend there and you can us as fans of this amazing Inn. Our suite was large, with beautiful paintings, oriental carpets and a great Victorian bedroom suite (the bed had been converted to a queen and was so comfortable). We had wonderful privacy but the Innkeeper was available to us 24/7. We took one of the Inn's romantic packages and highly recommend it as the flowers, baked goods and the wine were perfect. We were even given Waterford wine glasses with a nice bowl of fruit in an antique sterling bowl. This Inn is first class and we have paid much more for such amenities and services without the comfort or special treatment we got at the Victorian Tudor Inn.

This was a beautiful B&B. Very inviting and warm atmosphere. The innkeeper was very helpful, friendly, and made a wonderful homemade breakfast.

One of the Best traveling experiences we have ever had. Clean, friendly, bed was perfect. Food was cooked to perfection. Nothing could have been done to make our stay any better. Will recommend to everyone.

This property was outstanding

Rick has the gift of hospitality. His home is beautifully decorated with antiques. The waffles (and the rest of the breakfast) were scrumptious. Wonderful small town location. We were treated like royalty. Above our expectations. Outstanding b&b.

We stayed in the nautical room and I was completely blown away. My boyfriend surprised me for my 30th birthday and I couldn't have asked for a better gift. I would for sure return in the future.

A wonderful Inn - such amazing antiques and spacious suites. And, the best waffles I have ever eaten! And, a great innkeeper!

The Inn was spectacular! Innkeeper was very professional and catored to the needs of our family. The inn was very clean and decorated well. Thanks

We went to a family wedding in Bellevue and were surprised to find a B&B since we have been there many times before. What a delightful experience! We cannot say enough about the lovely inn,the hospitality and the wonderful breakfast. Rick has thought of everything to make your stay perfect.

My partner and I recently stayed at this amazing inn as part of a weekend trip to Cedar Point. We had spent the day at the park and were weary when we arrived at the inn around 8:15 that night. Richard (the innkeeper) could not have been more welcoming to us when we arrived. The pictures of the inn on the website DO NOT do the place justice! The home is huge (I believe around 7,000 square feet) and filled with phenomenal antiques. The inn is beautifully appointed - tasteful and elegant without feeling cluttered. The hot tub was just what we needed after an exhausting day riding roller coasters. Our room was stunning and immaculate, and Richard was helpful and friendly throughout our stay. He made a scrumptious breakfast for us - the waffles and fresh fruit were out of this world. This was the first time we have stayed in a B&B, and we are hooked! We will definitely recommend the Victorian Tudor Inn to friends and plan to return again ourselves. If you are in the Cedar Point area, forget about staying at the park resorts. Do yourself a favor, and travel a few miles south of Sandusky to this hidden gem. You won't regret it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Victorian Tudor Inn. It was well worth the cost; we have paid much more for less. It was like we were stepping back in time in high society but with all our modern conveniences. The Innkeeper was cordial and so helpful in planning our schedule, giving recommendations, and making reservations. We spent a lot of time just admiring the wonderful antiques at the Inn. We bombarded Rick with dozens of questions and learned so much from him as he obviously has an extensive knowledge on various antiques. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful we wish you great success.

A wonderful inn - such amazing antiques and spacious suites. And the best waffles I have ever eaten! And a great innkeeper!

So far (after dozens of stays at B & B's)The Victorian Tudor Inn has been our best ever. A very relaxing, quiet, and romantic atmosphere. The room, public areas and the grounds, especially the "Hidden Gardens". are beautiful. The ambience was so special and the Innkeeper was gracious and very accommodating. Everything we could possibly want for our stay was there for us ... and then some. The Inn was full the weekend we were there, and all of us discussed how pleased we were with our stay, and even with so many people how quiet and comfortable it still was. Quality is the key word; you could tell the breakfast was prepared with the best products, and even the complimentary soda is in glass bottles. The bed linens were so clean and crisp and again, of high quality. And what wonderful smells there are throughout the house, certainly not stuffy. We are going to make an annual trip here, probably on our anniversary next time.

Absolutely perfect in every detail of my stay. The bed was the most comfortable I have slept in away from home. The Innkeeper was very curtious and made the most delicious waffles. I felt safe, secure and was treated like a queen. This was my fist time staying in a B & B and it will not be my last.

My husband and I have stayed at numerous B & B's for over 15 years, and the Victorian Tudor Inn is clearly in the top 10%. The Inn is beautiful; the antiques are amazing and everything is set up like a professional interior designer did it, but it was done by the Innkeeper, who has impeccable taste. He has amassed an amazing collection of serious antiques and paintings. He knew how to meet our needs, be sociable, but also provide us our privacy. The breakfast was 4 stars, the Belgium Waffles were certainly the best I have ever eaten, especially topped with the local Ohio maple sryup that is provided. Without a doubt the pictures on their website does not fully convey the unique beauty of this home. This Inn is first class all the way and I can not wait for my return visit.
