"Hands down the best B&B I’ve ever stayed at—every detail was just right."

10.0

We absolutely loved our stay here—it is the very definition of a genuine bed and breakfast. Zee and Monica clearly take immense pride in creating a special experience, and it shows in every detail. The house itself is really cute and so incredibly well maintained—truly perfectly kept. The common areas are period-perfect, like stepping into Downton Abbey, with ample sitting rooms to relax in and soak up the atmosphere. Breakfast was the highlight. Served in the conservatory, it felt as though we had been transported to Victorian England, dining like landed gentry. Every element was thoughtful, delicious, and beautifully presented. Zee and Monica were charming hosts—attentive without being intrusive, and always going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. This is what perfect looks like. We can’t recommend this B&B highly enough. If you’re looking for an experience that’s elegant, warm, and unforgettable, this is it.

There is truly nothing not to love about this place. The shower pressure was exceptional—such a rare luxury to have proper water flow where you don’t need to run around just to get wet. The bed was wonderfully comfortable; I’ve stayed in more B&Bs than I can count, and this is honestly as good as it gets. Each room is individually period-themed, and the attention to detail is remarkable. We stayed in the Art Deco room, and every single piece had clearly been chosen with care and precision, creating a space that felt both authentic and special.

"Great place for a weekend getaway"

The owners are the nicest people and treat guests like family. The house is almost 150 years old, it's beautiful. Breakfast is first-class and sleeping conditions are very comfortable. Definitely worth a visit.

"A delightful short stay in Media"

10.0

This restored period home oozes charm. Each room is decorated in a different style. We had the Art deco room on the top floor which was very comfortable. The location is also good and the shops and cafes on State Street are a short walk away. The biggest attraction is the hospitality of the hosts Z and Monika who go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable. Breakfast is not to be missed.
