    A Relaxing Retreat

    February 28, 2013

    A stay at the Penrose set the stage for a comfortable and relaxing weekend visit. Enjoyed the comfortable room with large private bathroom. The inn was a throwback to another era. Even though it was on a main thoroughfare, you got the flavor of staying at someone's estate way out in the country. The innkeepers are very welcoming and seem to want to visit with their guests. although not in an intrusive way. They are there for suggestions on what to do in the area, as well as provide dining options. Enjoyed time at breakfast with innkeepers and other guests.

    Extraordinary hosts!

    December 12, 2012

    We stayed at the Penrose Victorian Inn this summer on short notice. Dick and Nancy were incredibly accommodating and friendly. We were made to feel right at home. Weather allowed for breakfast on the porch which was comfortable and so relaxing! The only drawback was that there was a bit of dog scent wafting throughout the house. If you're a dog person - no problem! If you have allergies, check with the hosts. Overall, it's a wonderful place for a laid back break.

    Step Back in Time

    November 10, 2012

    This lovely B&B is filled with period pieces. It could be a museum! Our host & hostess were gracious and friendly. The four-poster bed in the Eleanor Purrington Room definitely needs a new mattress. We were not distracted by traffic noise, but some may be. Still, we enjoyed our night of "time travel."

    Lovely inn, friendly owners

    July 24, 2012

    A charming inn, with wonderful bric-a-brac (including interesting antique instruments). Comfortable rooms, good food, and very friendly owners -- we felt like family.

    Perfect Victorian Getaway

    July 17, 2012

    Penrose is a Victorian delight -- so much imagination by the owners, Dick and Nancy, has gone into it. Large bedrooms with huge bathrooms, good a/c, very comfortable bed, inviting covered porch where the delicious, full breakfast is served (weather permitting), and very friendly and helpful hosts. We spent 3 nights there mid-week; it was well located since we took day trips in different directions. I'd love to stay there again.

    This is where we go when we don't want to stay with family. Much more comfortable. The beds are great as well as furnishings.
