Great location, easily walkable to restaurants and bars. We even walked to the beach! Loved the gardens and landscaping as well as the bookcases and old school homey feel of the inside.

Its says breakfast included which the give you a voucher to go offsite and get breakfast at another business offsite and several blocks away... We went there and it was only sit down and a plated breakfast..We were trying to get back home and wanted something to go at a lesser value but that business wouldn't accommodate.

We arrived at our room and it was 78 degrees inside according to the thermostat. So hot. We called the office about this (spoke to Sandra) and she said our only option was to open the windows. I was hesitant about this because there was extremely loud music playing outside until late at night, and when asked if there was air conditioning or any other option she was EXTREMELY rude and said “okay well would you like to leave? If you’re not happy you can leave.” I was so shocked to hear this, as we have traveled almost 12 hours and were exhausted and had already paid for the room, I simply was looking for a solution. Customer service here is 1/10. Also, shower pressure was completely awful, and I usually am not picky about this, however it was shocking how awful the shower was.

It was a cute place. But check in was odd, you couldn’t even talk to any one till 3. Breakfast is no longer served there you were given a voucher to eat at a place in town. Just didn’t seem at all like it was advertised. The bed was a little uncomfortable and there was mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. It was just ok.

We had a lovely stay. Bed wasn’t the most or least comfortable I’ve ever had and that’s the extent of my complaints. Good shower water pressure. Had a microwave, mini fridge and freezer. Fireplace kept it nice and toasty. Didn’t use tub but it looked nice. Great location. Walking distance to everything. Didn’t hear any outside noise at night.

Awesome hidden gem
Cute little spot. Complimentary wine time which was lovely to sit in front yard or back yard. Room had claw bath tub. It had a gas fireplace, cooling fan, microwave, mini fridge. Two blocks off main downtown street so many coffee shops and local restaurants within 5 minute walk. Quiet area. Front garden had several benches and tables to sit at, back area had a table. Exterior was well lit.

It is about an hour away from the city center, but the natural scenery is nice. There is a sunset point 7 minutes away, but I couldn't see the sunset because of the fog. The accommodation is decorated with lots of roses, so it's beautiful. However, there is a unique scent, but I don't know what scent it is. It's not a very nice scent.

The Expedia website called accommodation a 'luxury suite with two bedrooms' and instead was an average sized bedroom with spacious bathroom and a sitting room with foldout couch instead. Not fault of property and they were sad that we were initially disappointed. HOWEVER! We were won over by amazing overall access to property and amenities, and we will be back !

Hello Linda! Although the room wasn't quite what we expected based on the booking description, we were impressed with the property's amenities and overall access. The spacious bathroom and sitting room with a foldout couch provided a comfortable stay. The property's staff were also very accommodating and welcoming. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

The property has changed hands and is not really a bed and breakfast. The room charge was $500.00 one night for a "suite" that was supposed to include a bed in one room, which was fine, and what turned out to be a pull-out couch with the worst mattress, and too short for anyone with iffy bedding. The black mold in the bathroom was noticed as well. And having to walk 15 minutes with a coupon to get breakfast. Things have changed and not for the best. Seriously over priced to sleep on what was in effect, worse than an army cot.

Hello Nancy we do not have black mold in our bathrooms! I reviewed your room with our cleaner that has worked at the Mill Rose Inn for over 18 years and she was disturbed and saddened with your exaggerated comments. We also reviewed our brand new sofa bed that you used which was chosen by a professional stager and we have not received any complaints about – it's a very high end option that is comfortable and the opposite of an army cot. Also you paid less than 500.00 a night and if you book directly next time with us you will pay even lower prices. We accommodated an early check-in for your stay, at your request our Inn Keeper prepared the sofa bed for you upon your arrival, we offered you a full refund if you choose to leave but you declined and decided to stay. We were kind, generous and accommodating hoping to make your stay as amazing as possible. I would appreciate you removing this rating because it doesn't reflect our Inn in any way. Looking back on your experience I hope you see how special our Inn location and amenities are.

This inn was lovely, very beautiful. I loved the gas fireplace in the room and the high quality mattress and comforter. The freestanding tub required some caution to get in and out and I wish the water pressure had supported filling it up all the way with hot water. I enjoyed the downstairs rooms which had cookies, brandy, sherry and wine. Very peaceful and restful and quiet. The breakfast was outsourced to a local bakery cafe which was easy to walk to. Maybe breakfast is on-site some of the year? There is a kitchen and a dining area. Overall very nice.
