    We loved everything about this B&B. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. We felt right at home. The breakfast was different every morning and home made. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. The B&B is right in Capitol Hill and you are downtown in 15min. Definitely would stay here again. Thank you for everything!

    The place is a bit run-down and could use some renovations or even just some extra attention to the cleaning under the beds and to make sure the lights/fans etc. are all functioning perfectly.

    The location was super convenient and there was even unexpected onsite parking. Our host was friendly too. Breakfast was nice with plenty of coffee.

    The historical manor is very charming and the manager is very friendy. The room was not very large but cosy. We arrive early so we had the possibility to park in the yard. Very good breakfast changing every day. The area is full of very nice historical manors. It is very close from the historic Capitol Hill area with restaurants. Easy access to public transports.

    I was perfectly happy and I would stay here again. There were a few things that weren't absolutely perfect though, or I think some people might want to know, so here's that: The shower at least in my room was rather small, very large people might not be comfortable. My room was a little noisy. I think sound would get in through where the window A/C unit was placed, so I could hear some traffic from (I guess) 10th Street. Nothing some soft ear plugs or a fan wouldn't help with. Everything is pretty scented here. The linens, and sometimes there were scented candles burning, the bathroom products, etc. Not a problem for most people, but those who are sensitive to fragrances might not be comfortable here.

    Breakfast was very good and the host asks about any dietary restrictions when you check in. I really appreciated that since I'm vegan - and yes, my vegan breakfasts were all very delicious and healthy. They would also check to make sure you got enough to eat. There were comfortable places to eat either with the other guests or a little apart. As a solo traveler, it was actually really comforting for me to eat with the other guests at the main table each morning. I stayed in the Clipper room, which was very clean and comfortable. The bed and tons of pillows especially I enjoyed, as well as the desk and chairs in my room. There was A/C, which I didn't need, but at the same time was glad to have sometimes. I spent plenty of time reading and doing a little remote work (yes, they have solid WiFi) in the common areas of the house like the library and courtyard. All were clean, comfortable, and inviting, with plenty of pillows, tables, lamps, to really settle into a spot. Also everything was quite beautiful - the decor, furniture, and landscaping - overall I would call it cozy (like really cozy, I am not using that as a euphemism for cramped). Other than the shower, there was lots of space (more time om that below). The neighborhood is very convenient for walking to local attractions or getting to a transit station. You can also park in the neighborhood, but there seems to be some restrictions on how long you can park in one spot, which made me a little nervous (I had no issues though). The host was super friendly and helpful. They also have a dog who is friendly but very quiet and well behaved, so for those who are allergic to dogs, if you just say no, he'll just trot off. Even when I was eating outside, I said no, and he left me alone.

    It would have been nice to have had tea and coffee making facilities in the Bedroom, but were available downstairs.

    The house was full of character in a lovely quiet area. The breakfast’s were excellent and different each day we were there. Our host, David, was friendly and helpful and we would certainly stay here again if we come back to Seattle.

    Beautiful house in a nice area of Capitol Hill

    It would have been nice to have had access to tea and coffee facilities in the room and a small fridge to keep water and other drinks cold. Breakfast was fun around the communal table with a different plated dish each day but I’d have liked the choice of helping myself to fruit, yoghurt and maybe granola as well.

    The house and garden are beautiful and a haven of peace and quiet in a busy city. The bedroom and guest areas downstairs are even lovelier than the photos. The neighbourhood is full of similar houses and its short walk to the lively restaurants and bars of Capitol Hill and buses to downtown.

    Lack of choice given for breakfast & timings for said were just too restrictive, being 08:30 starr to 09:30 finish, without exception.

    The one thing that didn’t match with the overall quality of the place was the bed linen - the sheets were not matched and were not the usual smooth, high-quality fabric that we would expect of a hotel/BnB of this quality and price. An easy thing to fix.

    We loved the period decor, the spacious room, the many lovely lounge and garden areas and the communal breakfast. We also enjoyed being a bit outside the central city area. This meant we got to see where local people live and play in the vibrant Capitol Hill area. We enjoyed trying some of the many great restaurants in easy walking distance. It’s also an easy half-hour walk or quick bus or train ride into the central city.

    Location is good with short walking distance to Capitol Hill. There are lots of restaurants with many different options. It is also within walking distance to many tourist attractions. The house itself is beautiful and we got unexpected upgrade. Thanks David, the owner of the house. Room is nicely decorated with plenty of space for a family of 3. Breakfast was served at the elegant dining room. Everything was great!

    It's probably the nature of the old manor, but the upper floors creak in certain areas, i.e. a particular side of the bed. When other guests walked around on our floor, the creaks sounded like they were right above us, which was a little freaky.

    Breakfasts are good! Home cooked eggs/bacon/croissants with yogurt and fruits, coffee, juice, water on the side, and extras if desired. Plenty of couches and lounging areas with books, free wifi, and even brandy if you like a little nightcap with your reading experience.

    The showers are outside of the bathrooms—just barely, and it's still tiled outside and not carpet, but still outside the bathroom door. Not a complaint, just a curiosity and something folks may want to be aware of.

    What wasn't to like? Everything about this place was absolutely wonderful—great common space, delicious breakfast, super spacious and aesthetic room, and the host was very kind and accommodating.

    The only thing to possibly note here are the little design oddities of an old house. The bathroom in our suite, for example, did not have a door and the water closet was exactly that - a tiny room with a door for the toilet. Houses are just planned out a bit differently now. The hosts generously allowed my son to use the vacant room next door for a little more privacy in the bath. No complaints here, just noting the quirks of old homes that make them well worth the visit instead of staying at a cookie cutter hotel.

    The pair of hosts were so friendly and accommodating, I wish we could have stayed longer. Our little holiday trip was damped at times by rain, high prices and fatigue; the Manor provided such a welcome retreat that, more than once, we opted to cut our plans out and about short and just relax at the Manor. We will return to enjoy the hospitality and comfort of this well-run and beautiful B&B again.
