I recently stayed at Bristow's Inn with my family and found the entire property immaculately clean, from the polished floors to the fresh linens in the cozy guest room. The check-in and check-out process was seamless and well-organized, with clear instructions and timely communication that made settling in and departing effortless.

The room was very clean. We were unable to enjoy the breakfast as it was scheduled for 8 to 10 a.m. which later than our planned departure to get to the St. Jacob's Farmer's Market for it's opening time at 7:00 a.m. An earlier offering of the breakfast would have been better for our stay.

We stayed at this property for the first time. We stayed for 2 nìghts in the Fall. My husband loves hisyory and antiques. Thus, we gave this inn a try. It is a beautiful historic property. Pictures on the wall tells the history of the house. Interior decorations also reflect its time in history. This inn is clean and quiet. The only thing I don't like is the squeaky beds in our room and the thinly covered top half of the window with lacey materials. The sunrise literally wakes you up.

This is a nice comfortable budget friendly B&B. Very conveniently located to do day trips to lots of quaint places. Fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries and local jams were some of the breakfast offerings and the coffee was fresh and hot each morning. This was a great place to stay.

Liked the history of the property. Enjoyed our visit as it was close to amenities and was quiet and safe. Twin bed was squeaky and the double bed was comfortable but difficult to get into as very high. ? Issues with the coffee maker as it shut off several times. We appreciated the fact that the Bistrow was pet friendly.

Beautiful old home with great character. The only suggestion I would make is that the rooms had dust on some of the decorative objects as well as the ceiling fan blades. Very clean otherwise.

We really enjoyed Bristow's Inn. It was comfortable and well.set up.it was a unique experience because it is what I call remote and it worked very well. There was no one to check you in. Prior to leaving,we received a cde for the front door and one for your room. Things were set out in the diningroom for the continental breakfast. Loved the experience.
