Governor's House In Hyde Park

My wife and I have had the good fortune to stay at some remarkable accommodations around the world, and this was among the most lovely. The hostess, Suzanne, was kind, informative, forthcoming, and incredibly hospitable. Our room was warm and spacious with a new electric fireplace and a comfortable bed. The bathtub (in the Green Room) deserves a special mention: a European sitting shower/tub! There is also a large array of books and games available for all (as well as discrete stashes of sweets scattered throughout). Overall, we definitely recommend!

Super cute B&B and amazing service. Highlights including afternoon tea and breakfast. Perfect quantities and attentive refills. We loved playing cards by the fireplace and catching up in the library. Safety: Felt very safe!

My wife and I were recently celebrating our 40th anniversary, and spent a wonderful week in the Stowe area. My wife found that there was a place nearby that served Afternoon Tea, so we scheduled it. It seemed like a good opportunity to reminisce about 40 years together over a peaceful tea. On the day of the tea, we arrived a few minutes early. We entered the home and waited a few minutes for the hostess. She arrived and seated us at our table. She then began scolding my wife for taking a picture of the place setting at our table with her cell phone. We were confused, so my wife asked why. In a condescending tone, the hostess said the sound of taking pictures would distract the other guests. We tried to assure her that the phone was on silent mode but, for the hostess, the conversation was over and she walked out of the room. I could see that my wife was in shock and on the verge of tears, but we agreed to see the tea through and try to enjoy ourselves. That wasn't possible, as the tension with the hostess remained, and we were constantly wondering what else we might do that would result in another reprimand. Overall, the tea time was average and basic. The food was good, but there was no music, no color on the table, no choice of teas. Honestly, though, we weren't expecting the Savoy or Harrod's, and it would have been absolutely perfect with some basic kindness and hospitality from the hostess. As it was, it was a waste of both time and money. We regret going, we will not return, and we will not recommend it to friends and family. Overall, save both your money and your dignity and do something else in the wonderful Stowe area.

I went to the Governor's House with a friend in September, just for one night, as we had plans with other friends who were visiting the region. I chose the place simply because we needed to be in or near Morrisville. What a delightful surprise! The house itself it gorgeous. Our rooms were at once picturesque and comfortable. Suzannne, our host, was attentive yet discrete. Her breakfast was delicious. And the view! Now I've talked about the place to people around me and can't wait to go back. I recommend it warmly.

This was a charming bed and breakfast. The room was nicely appointed, and the host gracious and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and the historical atmosphere was a treat. Highly recommend a trip here.
