Yellow House B&B

It was very peaceful and in the country but a very short drive to downtown. Also, the provided breakfasts were quality meals and gave a feeling of being “pampered” with great service. The hospitality of freshly made snacks were nice. I also learned they host groups and am considering planning a group retreat.

Nothing

So cute! The bed was sooo comfortable and the breakfast was delicious!

The Yellow House was clean, super cute and very comfortable. The grounds were lovely too. And the breakfast was delicious. Sara is very accommodating to dietary restrictions and is a great cook. We’ll definitely be back!

We loved everything!

The location was great, the amenities were excellent, access to the kitchen, and the TV room or den. Thoughtfully decorated, the outside areas were also exceptional. The covered deck and the swing in the trees out back, a great place to watch the sunset.

Location

All was great

The property was AMAZING!!! The house was so incredibly nice and the owners running it were so so kind, helpful, and fantastic! The breakfast they served was exceptional, not the plain breakfast that you would normally get, but gourmet in my opinion. Every little thing was thought of for comfort and convenience. Stuff that one would not think of was accommodated. I will stay there every time I visit Salado!

There was not one thing that I DID NOT like about the property.

House is really has nice arrangement. It is well kept. The hostess, Sara was extremely accommodating. She made fresh unsweetened tea for us. The beds were the most comfortable I have slept on in all our travels in some time.

I thought we needed a TV in our room, but as it turns out there were 2 in the common areas. Kitchen and family room.

This is a perfect location between my home and my daughters to get together. The home was very welcoming and relaxing. We sat in their very comfortable rocking chairs on the porch and played a game of chess before calling it a night. The breakfast was very tasty as we enjoyed getting to know Sara, the host. She made herself available for our needs and made us feel at home. Thank you to Sara & James for a wonderful getaway!

My daughter showed me how to turn the a/c light off in the morning. I should have asked her before going to bed! :-)

The breakfast was well prepared. Blueberry Croissant Bread pudding was accompanied by garlic grits and two slices of bacon. There was orange juice and cranberry as well on the table. Breakfast is served at 9:30 am. The breakfast staff were friendly and timely to arrive as well as to depart. While definitely not over the top compared to other central Texas B&Bs we have stayed with, the breakfast was well within the range of acceptable. The serving area was well kept. The overall property was very clean and tidy as was the room. The pre-check-in experience could have been a bit more cordial, but it was not totally off-putting. It was just somewhat noticeable for a hospitality industry experience. This might just be explainable as the owner having a tough day. While not quite top shelf, the bedding was definitely comfortable and a quiet night's sleep was had. The guest room appears to have residential type keyed door lock and we were issued one key. For those who like to sleep in before breakfast, the vinyl pull-down shade on the window is probably not going to give you a dark out scenario. As an early riser, it did not impact me. There are no curtains on the windows.

The room was not as described as shown in the pictures below. "This air-conditioned quadruple room is consisted of a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a private bathroom as well as a terrace with garden views. The unit has two beds." In reality, there was no TV at all in the room and if you look out one of the two windows, there does not appear to be a terrace involved and the view is of the woods.... The windows did have vinyl pull down shades, however. Not showing in the room picture is the rate of $205.85 / night $205.85 Total. Looking at the calendar for May and June, there is no rate of $247 shown with highest being $233. The actual rate charged was $247.02 which is $41.17 greater than $205.85. Over billing for something that is lesser than that described is not an acceptable business practice in my view. It simply detracts from the rest of the experience.

Yellow House B & B is perfect in every way !! The innkeepers are wonderful!! Rooms are amazing !! Breakfast was fantastic!!
