    It was my first visit to the Brenham area and the Brenham House Bed and Breakfast was such a peaceful place to stay. I chose the Antique Rose Room because of the clawfoot tub and soaked my troubles away! The high , fluffy bed was a dream. Having left winter behind me up North, it was such a joy to visit in the garden, see flowers in bloom and watch the Mockingbirds and Cardinals building nests. And the food, prepared by the owners, served on lovingly set tables, what a way to start the day! Thank you james and Susan, I'm moving to the area! Best Wishes, Terry from New Hampshire

    More than outstanding!

    September 23, 2012

    Have stayed in several B&B's but none as perfect as this. The room (we had the Bluebonnet Room - two females having a girl's get away) was spotless, beautifully decorated, large and welcoming. Breakfasts were delicious, the cookies were to die for, and Jim and Susan were the friendliest couple around. Loved their visits after they finished serving breakfast, just chatting with us like we had known them all our lives. You can't go wrong here!

    Excellent!

    August 14, 2012

    This B&B truly is as good as it gets. Thank you James and Susan for opening up your home to us - and it DOES feel like a home, not a business - and for being so gracious and friendly. (Highlight of my stay was when you two shared so much of your history and especially when you took the time to visit with us before and during breakfast.)

    Compfy B&B

    July 24, 2012

    Thank you to James and Susan for making our first experience at a B&B a memorable one. The the house was updated but still in keeping with the times. Very comfortable beds and bedding. We had our own bathroom and temperature control for the "Robins Nest' room. Great location and we look forward to going back!

    Charming B&B

    July 23, 2012

    We are airline people so are very use to hotels. My husband surprised me for our 20th Anniversary with staying here. I immediately appreciated the charm of tasteful antiques, the hominess of the entire space, and the warm welcome feeling when being greeted by the owners. The beds had high thread count bedding, very comfortable mattresses and abundance of pillow. Loved the fact that our room had a sitting area and it's own bath (I believe each room has it's own bath)... Breakfast was wonderful all the way from the place settings to the FLAVOR... beautiful fresh flower center piece for us to enjoy as well... I want to bring my whole family back to enjoy the charm and hospitality.
