reviews
Staying here was the highlight of my trip up the west coast. I can’t stop thinking of the amazing cream cheese stuffed french toast they served on Sunday morning. Very convenient to have a fridge with sparkling waters and a place to store our left overs. The rooms were full of character and charm. While in town I recommend the Column. Another highlight for me was walking down the path along the railroad (the river walk) to the town center for dinner one night. Love the family stories from the host!
As an avid supporter of Victorian B&Bs, the whole experience was excellent. From the beautiful architecture, the charming old windows, doors that challenge your brain to work, my favorite heating system (that doesn’t trigger my dustmite allergy), to the hospitality of the innkeepers and delicious breakfast- all made me feel welcome and wishing to return. My evening was delighted by drinking the tea in the formal living room and reading the heavy book with the history of the family who built the house. Thank you for allowing me to take that delicious cardamom bread to go!
My husband and I spent 5 days at Benjamin Young B & B and loved every minute. Emma is a perfect host making sure we were very comfortable and she’s loads of fun to talk with. The breakfasts were delicious every morning. Really enjoyed talking with other guests too! I highly recommend staying here for a special experience.
