The home is beautiful. There is a gazebo and wrap around porch but no chairs outside to enjoy them. I stayed in RM 3 one night and RM 2 one night. Both had clean sheets and towels. However, the bath mats both looked used, there were left over hair ties in both rooms and the rooms were dusty with hair in both tubs. I don't believe it's the owner's fault. He's only as successful as the cleaning crew. However, it should be addressed. There's not really any time period furniture. It's all newer but made to look a little older. The location is ok, but very busy and difficult to get out. Obviously, town was built around the home.

What a lovely hotel and unique experience! Incredibly charming, warm, clean, and centrally located. The rooms have character and the common areas are full of cozy antiques and finds. Hardwood floors, the bay windows, the flowers blooming in the courtyard were all delightful adds that you simply wouldn’t get with a hotel. They are finishing up renovations so breakfast was not available but that would only add to the experience. I would highly recommend!

We wanted to love this place. When I booked, my partner and I agreed that the rate was reasonable because it included breakfast and the charm of the historic home and the reason we were visiting just seemed to be kismet. However. I was told a week before my stay I would receive an email confirming my booking, I never received that. I kept calling and calling and emailing trying to get in touch with someone, only to be shocked on 2/17 by the website stating that the home had new owners and would no longer operate as a Bed & Breakfast. After countless phone calls and emails I finally found a new email address for the new owners and received confirmation of our stay. Once we gained entry into the home we noticed all the lovely antique furnishings that we had specially booked for— is all gone. New modern-esque furniture greets you in the formal sitting area, and they do have a complimentary coffee bar, though we could not seem to locate any other refreshments (like bottled water). We entered our room to… bare bones essentially. No artwork like previously shown on the website, and more modern type furnishings. While everything was clean and tidy (which I appreciated) most of the charm was not there. The clawfoot tub was beautiful, though the water in the shower was barely above tepid. We did have a TV in the room, however at no point did it ever connect to the spectrum account it said it had, and thusly it went unused, and there is no trash bin, save for a tiny one in the bathroom, so we had nowhere to discard our empty drinks we had to purchase (because agin, not even a bottle of water was provided). I know when there is a transition in new ownership there can be some hiccups, but the experience I paid for is not the experience we received, and had I known there wouldn’t have been breakfast provided, I probably would not have booked this establishment at the price I paid. I do believe the next time I am in Birmingham, we will find different lodging.

The house like stepping back into the 1800s. Every detail is beautiful. If you like antiques and old things, you will love this place! The king-size bed is very comfortable, and the furniture and corner sofas make the whole place feel cozy and inviting.”

Came in for the concert with my son. The home is beautiful you have to love an old home to appreciate this beauty. I slept peacefully, felt safe and the house was very clean. I didn't like the carpet but I understand why to preserve natural wood and sound. My son loved it, we stayed in Room 8 plenty of room and clean. There is outsude space that is beautiful bring a small folding chair. No outside furniture and I understand why, I think it would take away from the home. It was safe and in a very nice area. It's more modern furniture which I like. Who ever owns this is doing a great job of preserving it's authentic home. The windows, wood, wrap around porch a gorgeous home. Parking right but manageable if people park correctly. I will definitely stay again

Great stay in Birmingham! We had a one night midweek getaway and our suite was wonderful. We stayed in suite 8 and slept inside the turret. All the creature comforts were attended too and everything was as expected for a stay in a guest house. Thank you for easy instructions and booking!

Holy cuteness! For a very decent price, you can stay in this gorgeous old Victorian style mansion. So quiet and unique, with beautiful grounds, antiques throughout, historical artifacts, and a beautiful turret-style grand staircase with stained glass windows. No food/drinks on site, but it's very convenient location makes grabbing food and drinks very easy. They have a refrigerator for guests to keep food and drinks in, as well. Every room is unique and you can choose whichever fits you best when booking. Definitely a must if you're visiting Birmingham and love historic homes. Can't wait to stay here next time!
