    The beauty and elegance of Victorian House made us so glad we chose this Bed & Breakfast! The house is simply delightful and done in "Gone With the Wind" theme. Each guest room is tastefully decorated with plushy comfortable beds. (Can't decide which room is my favorite: Scarlett or Melanie! Love the pink sink!) I love that there are TVs in the rooms, so guests can decide for themselves what they want to do with their time. Also love the beautiful music played downstairs. The innkeepers were very friendly and helpful with directions and all things local and went out of their way to make our stay so relaxing and memorable.

    The husband was defensive when I tried to use a giftcard to pay and didn't come across too kindly, and the bathroom was dirty (toilet seat was filthy and shampoo was half-empty) when we arrived at 5pm, and there was a cat on our bed, which we weren't expecting. The house is definitely pretty, breakfast was ok. I'd give it an average rating, because had we not met the husband, and had someone cleaned our bathroom, we would have left relaxed instead of diappointed.

    Innkeeper Response
    This person was difficult. She did not have a gift certificate, just a photocopy of a letter which I accepted.She wanted another 10% discount, from a program that I had never heard of, and when asked for some type of paperwork on this discount, she was not able to produce it. We do have a cat, but he was not on the bed. Our housemaid did overlook a couple of items that were not done properly and we apologized for that. Their breakfast was sausage quiche, potatoes, fresh fruit salad, hot bread with jam, fresh fruit smoothie served on china, with nice linens and silver, coffee and tea. I am sorry they were not happy, we do try to give the best service we can. .
