Highly recommend. We’ve stayed in 3 of their 6 rooms and the University suite is our favorite. It’s quiet, large and the bathroom was recently remodeled so the shower is great. Innkeeper Brian is sweet and thoughtful and the breakfast and pastries are always fresh and tasty!

Beautiful true victorial b&b , gorgeous stained glass windows and wallpapers, inlaid wood floors, lovely electrified original lighting, very well maintained and lovely rooms. The highlight was the inn keeper, Brian with an incredible attention to detail in the home history and amenities, home baked treats with coffee and tea, lovely delicious breakfast and a superb host. We will come back.
