    This was our third year staying at the Terra Nova House. What an upgade from the previous years. We stayed in the British Empire Room the king size bed was very comfortable and clean the only done size is the bathroom is very small. But I would pick that room again due to the comfort and decor is more important to me than the bathroom size. There is a beverage/snack center on the 1st and 2nd floors available 24 hours a day. It is nice to have a hot cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate available coming in on a cold night after dinner.The home cooked breakfasts were delicious with a variety of food. We had a very enjoyable stay and would highly recommend the Terra Nova House. Don't miss staying here on your next visit to Grove City. I would not stay any other place! The new inn keepers Ryan and Molly are very friendly and go out of thier way to make you feel at home.

    This was our first stay at a Bed and Breakfast. The house is charming. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. We stayed in the North Atlantic room which is quaint and quite comfortable. When we arrived we were treated to fresh fruit and chocolate. Our breakfast included french toast with baked apples and crumb topping. It was delicious. Ryan, the Inkeeper is very friendly. We enjoyed our stay and can't wait to go back.

    This was our first stay at the Terra Nova House. It is a beautiful Victorian home located in a quiet neighborhood with off street parking. It is close to Grove City College, the Prime Outlets, and several excellent restaurants are nearby to choose from. Ryan and Molly, the innkeepers, were wonderful, friendly, and helpful hosts. They have two lovely children. The atmosphere is comfortable, relaxed, and homey. We stayed in the North Atlantic suite which is nicely decorated with a nautical theme. The room is comfortable, spacious, and toasty warm on a cold night. The bathroom is clean, large, and well lit. The whole house is very clean, well-maintained, and welcoming. There is a beverage/snack center on the 1st and 2nd floors available 24 hours a day. It is nice to have a hot cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate available coming in on a cold night after dinner.

    Terra Nova House was easy to find and close to Grove City Outlet Mall. The British Empire room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was very small especially for a man or a tall person. Breakfast portions were smaller than expected. I would change the menu. Would have liked to enjoy coffee before our breakfast, but the coffee maker was empty near our room. Snacks and other drinks would have been nice to be included in our stay, only bottle water was provided. Overall a good experience for the price and location.

    Innkeeper Response
    Thank you for your specific feedback as it helps to serve our guests in the future. As the new owners/innkeepers of the Terra Nova House (12/9/2011), many of your suggestions will be implemented upon our 1/18/2012 re-openning. Plans are underway for a few new amenities. The 2nd floor beverage center will be expanded and include a Keurig machine for coffee/tea at any hour. A new 1st floor snack and beverage center will be added which will be stocked with goodies galore for an early breakfast or a midnight snack. All rooms will be equipped with an upgraded television, Blu-ray player and a shared movie library. Finally, in-room massages will be available (based on scheduling) by a local licensed massage therapist for the low rate of $55 per hour (either 1 full hour or 2 half-hours). We will also be looking at ways to increase the size of the bathroom in the British Empire room.

    We have been coming to the Terra Nova House for quite a few years on our annual trip to the discount mall. Wouldn't consider staying anywhere else.
