Good place for a getaway from the everyday cares of the world. It felt like we were in an earlier historical time period. Nice peaceful pace at this B&B, clean with lots of amenities. Simple breakfast with no hot food.

Review Colony Hospital Bed & Breakfast, Bishop Hill, IL

Photo Album

The Anders Bergland Suite (our largest and most private suite) has a wonderful soaking tub for total pampering.  First enjoy some time on our dry hydromassage table in the suite, perfect for relaxing away your aches and pains.All our guestrooms feature beautiful quilts on the queen-size beds, wood floors, simple but elegant curtains.  Our rooms are spacious, warm and inviting, and decorated to fit the simple colony style.  Choose the type of private bath you prefer: walk-in shower, clawfoot tub with overhead shower or handheld (soaking tub) or double whirlpool Jacuzzi tub.
Guests enjoy our back porticos . . . for morning coffee or breakfast, enjoying the afternoon sun, watching the sunset over the distant rolling hills or to savor the sights and sounds of our tiny country village.Bishop Hill's park, first dedicated by the original Swedish settlers, is a wonderful place to sit and take in the quiet beauty.
