My writer's group booked all five rooms for a Saturday night retreat. I stayed in The Elizabeth Room. The facility is gorgeous all around - very British Country House Weekend - I fully expected there to be a murder in the library.
Amenities - the mattress and bedding was at a luxury hotel level. Fantastic mattress, crisp sheets, comfy pillows. It was amazing. HEATED bathroom floors. Unlimited water, tea, coffee, snacks - there were scones out all day in the breakfast room - plus hot cider - and cookies in the drawing room in the evening. Breakfast was grilled caramelized grapefruit with Greek

Sharon and her husband are such heartwarming folks and they have wonderful hospitality!! It reminded me of southern hospitality, which I miss dearly. I did not have the privilege of staying at the B&B but all of our wedding guests booked there for the night and I heard nothing but wonderful things. We also had the bridal party makeup and hair there and Sharon was so kind to offer us snacks and beverages!! I definitely hope my husband and I can spend the night in the future!!

We had the pleasure of staying at Georges on York and highly recommend it. Chris and Sharon were fantastic hosts. Very personable and dedicated to making sure their guests are taken care of. I even left an item behind in our room, and they were kind enough to mail it to our home. Hopefully we'll get a chance to stay with them again in the future.
