    Georgian Manor Inn in Norwalk and Chez Francois in Vermilion - Perfect combination!

    We had dinner reservations at Chez Francois (a French restaurant which we highly recommend in Vermilion) and not wanting to drive home after dark we selected the Georgian Manor in Norwalk for our overnight. Everything made us very comfortable and right at home. The AAA's 4-Star Diamond rating was just what I was looking for, and I wasn't disappointed. We've redone several old homes and appreciate the time, money and energy that's gone into making the Georgian Manor Inn the gem that it is today. The appropriate decor used inside and out, the convenient location on the main street lined with georgeous old homes, the wonderful sit-down breakfast and our new friends, Gene and Judy, all made it such a good experience. We reserved the Lady Ann room with the canopied bed and private porch, and that'll be our choice again next time.

    My wife and i stayed at the Georgian Manor over the Labor Day weekend as our first time in a B&B. Needless to say it was more than we could have hoped for. Gene was so helpful to me when i first contacted him about availablitly. He made the arrangement for our golfing and gave us detailed information and maps of the area wineries. My wife and i were there for the celebration of our anniversary and we cannot thank Gene and Judy enough for making our stay special. After coming home we have taked to all of our friends, family and co-workers about the area, but mostly about how nice it was to stay at the Georgian Manor. Thanks again, The Werners

    Imagine a place where you feel immediately at home, except it well may be a lot more elegant that your own house...But no matter, Gene and Judy make you feel right at home from the first moment you enter their magical Inn. Gene's encyclopedic knowledge of the Inn and the Norwalk area and Judy's cooking are enough for my wife and I to want to go back soon. But the Inn offers so much more than that....stunning room accommodations, breathtakingly beautiful public rooms, marvelous gardens.....but enough said... Go... Enjoy...

    What a wonderful visit we had! The breakfasts were so very delicious. The Presidential reading room is a real treat indeed! The gardens were in full bloom and were breathtaking. But above all, the warmth and kindness of the inn keepers, Gene and Judy, was extraordinary. We are looking forward to a return visit. This is the best choice in Ohio!

    My husband and I needed a break away from the stresses of the world while he was home on leave from deployment. The Georgian Manor Inn provided exactly what we needed. The house was immaculate and beautiful, the owners were pleasant and helpful, and breakfasts were delightful! The Norwalk area had many places to walk to or drive to easily (we visited several of the areas wineries). We are already planning our return visit!
