    I was planning our 15th Anniversary getaway and was lucky I found this B&B online. It is a hidden treasure!! It was more than we could have asked for, starting with the rooms and it was very peaceful. The hospitality was superb starting with the owners down to the staff. We will definitely be back again for another visit or two ect.... We now have a nice getaway!!!

    There's just nowhere else to stay in Bartow except 2 poorly kept chains. But pick up and put the Stanford Inn anywhere else and it would still be a wonderful place to stay and kick back. We had a beautiful, comfortable room, great breakfast, and the peace of rocking on the porch. Thanks, Tony and Becky!

    The Stanford Inn is everything we could have hoped for...AND MORE! I brought my mother here for her 75th birthday and we were enchanted from the moment we stepped over the threshold. Becky and Tony were gracious hosts and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. The food was outstanding and as good as any 5 star restaurant. The rooms were spacious and immaculate. The antiques throughout the inn were gorgeous. We will definitely stay here again...and again!

    Excellent change from a hotel

    We had a wonderful one night evening escape at The Stanford Inn. Although Becky &Tony were extremely busy with an afternoon tea and a group from the local theatre, they still made us feel very special and ensured a relaxing getaway! We hope to return soon!!!!!!! Doug & Gloria
