The Squibb Houses earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with guests consistently singling out its exceptional breakfasts, historic charm, beautiful gardens, and convenient central location with free parking. The main recurring concerns are steep upper-floor stairs (with insufficient room-level disclosure at booking), occasional minor maintenance issues, and a self-check-in format that some find impersonal. Overall, it is highly regarded as a characterful, peaceful retreat, though guests with mobility limitations or a preference for hotel-style service should note its B&B nature.
- Steep or narrow stairs to upper-floor rooms, with no clear floor-level information at booking
- Experience can feel impersonal due to limited face-to-face staff contact
- Some beds reported as too soft with insufficient edge support
- Minor maintenance issues: fixed/poor shower heads and no cups in room noted
“The best part of our stay was the wonderful breakfast. Hot items - eggs, bacon, French toast -- cereal, fruit, yogurt -- plentiful and scrumptious.”
“When you see the house and step into the garden, you feel transported back in time. The house is very well maintained.”
“Perfect place for a writer's retreat. Places to sit in the lounge, an amazing garden, location in central town, Superb breakfast.”
“The stairs were steep and a challenge for us. When we booked the room it was unclear whether or not our room was on the first or second floor.”
“We never got to meet the staff, except for the breakfast person. The whole experience felt somewhat impersonal.”
