Thank you!
We stayed for a few days at Richard's House. We enjoyed our stay very much, the breakfast was vast and delicious. The owners are very friendly. We stayed in the bedroom that you can see in the photograph, it is large and very comfortable with a very nice bathroom. I highly recommend the place. It was cost effective!

Yeah no! Wanted to like it but just gloomy and scary. Curtains so dirty. Moved a chair and in the spot it sat all the stuffing fell out on the floor??? Outside was scaffolded and dark. Not a place I would stay again!

Big surprise on arrival
It wasn’t made clear on hotels.com that this bnb is in the middle of major renovations. The rooms were completed, but the outside and windows were in major need of work and confused us when we got there. When we looked at the properties website later, it did mention the construction. The owners were nice, but somewhat disorganized and there were spaces that were full of supplies and trash from construction in view. This location will be beautiful when completed, and we enjoyed our room, but we were not prepared for what we drove up to.
Stairs to the front door
This one corner is the only fished part of the exterior.

This is a hard review to write. The place was very interesting. The hosts were awesome. My problem is that I have asthma and I’m allergic to cats. I had a hard time breathing with the dust and animal smell.

What an awesome experience. The hosts were very nice and the breakfast was outstanding! A comfortable room with a nice bed and linens. The exterior is under remodel and the temporary wooden steps were a little uneasy to comprehend. Some updating to the insides needed as well but it looks like a wonderful place being reborn. A great experience.

Don't let the exterior renovation and scaffolding keep you from discovering this place. Like an oyster, the exterior gives no clue to the pearl inside! What's inside is a well preserved 19th century mansion. Nine different kinds of wood, nine unique beds, fireplaces abound, unique wall coverings, and stained glass throughout (even in the rooms pocket doors). Decades long owner/proprietors give an excellent Bed & Breakfa experience!
