Editorial Review for Garden Manor Bed and Breakfast – by Nathan Stull
In Short
Featuring four rooms upstairs, away from the serene gardens, this B&B has central air-conditioning, telephone connections for laptops, and walk-in closets with mini-refrigerator stocked with beverages. Every room has a different design: The English Rose suite had a four-poster bed, while the Colonial West Indies room looks as it sounds, with bamboo window treatments and tapestry linens. The Country French room comes with a private balcony. The Classic Cottage room is bright and comfortable.

We just had a wonderful 2-night stay at Garden Manor Inn. The home inside and out was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The rooms are furnished smartly without being fussy, and the breakfasts were delicious! We love the location, just a block from Main Street with all kinds of restaurants, shops, and wine tasting rooms. However, there was a situation that occurred during our stay, and it was all I could do to keep my husband in our room! Another couple staying there returned to their room around 10 pm, accompanied by some friends who apparently live in the area. They were very loud and boisterous, but we kept thinking they were just saying their good-nights and things would quiet down soon. Unfortunately it just went on and on, until we finally called the owners about the racket. When Judy tried to talk to the people about the noise, the men became very belligerent. Judy asked if they could all go downstairs and out on the porch to discuss situation, but the people just wouldn't listen to reason. Rather than just ask his visitors to leave, or all of them return to one of the bars to continue their party, the husband said they were checking out. He went into great detail about how he and his wife would blast negative reviews throughout Internet on “their horrible experience". Throughout Judy listened, tried to talk but couldn’t complete a sentence. They finally left at 11 pm. The following morning at breakfast we told Judy how impressed we were with her patience and that we would be sure to write our wonderful reviews about Garden Manor! She was very apologetic for the noise. When my husband said he hoped that they paid a premium rate for their stay, Judy shared that she had not charged them. That was very gracious, considering the circumstances. It is unfortunate that B&B owners open to their home to the public and some guests show such total disrespect, not to mention their insensitivity to others staying there too.
Pros: Close to shopping, restaurants, and other entertainment
Cons: None come to mind

Everything was wonderful at the Garden Manor. I felt so much at home. It was a very peaceful & relaxed atmosphere. My room was spotless & the hospitality/service incredible. Judy definitely went above & beyond - everything was wonderful. Breakfasts were delicious...Judy is a great cook. It was fun to talk with her - she makes you feel very welcome and will do anything to make your stay enjoyable. Every day, Judy brought fresh towels, made up the bed & put chocolate truffles on the pillow.....very nice! High speed internet access was available, plush robe available, stocked mini-fridge (Judy asked me what I liked to drink ahead of time & it was in there when I got there), the room & inn was spotless. I would recommend this B&B to business travelers....it beats any hotel by far. I would also recommend it to people looking for a get-away....it's perfect. It's close to Main Street with it's restaurants & cute shops. It is charming!
