This was our first time in a B&B in Florida and was well worth the visit. The Overcash's were perfect hosts with plenty of advice on where to visit and eat. If you are English, best to brush up on your knowledge of politics and economics as Brantley has a voracious appetite for knowledge. Breakfast was excellent and the room... More

My husband and I had a wonderful experience here. We stayed two nights and could have booked for a month. There is so much that the area offers and then to come back to this comfortable bed and breakfast was amazing. It is set back off the road and was very quiet. A wonderful pool, large rooms, great breakfast and... More

We stayed last night at the Shamrock Thistle and Crown with the Overcash Family. The house itself is a well appointed and warm throwback to an earlier time which has been thoughtfully incorporated with modern amenities. We stayed in the "Irish Blarney Suite". I reccommend it most highly! Brantley and Anne as well as their children are marvelous hosts and... More

We've just returned from a nearly 4000 mile 2 week roadtrip from Maine to Key West and back. One of our first stops in Florida was to visit a friend at The Villages - just around the corner from this inn. The Shamrock Thistle and Crown seemed much more interesting and personal than the usual budget motel brands. The T.A.... More

My wife and I live in the Tampa area and decided to take a "one-tank trip" to the Ocala area so we could enjoy an inland Florida experience - as opposed to a beach experience. We are so glad we found the Shamrock Thistle & Crown B&B when we searched on-line for a place to stay! The property is charming... More

My sister and I were visiting relatives in the area and found this B&B through the AAA magazine. It was easy to find and the host/hostess were most hospitable! Our room was clean, pleasingly decorated, and had comfortable beds. Had it been later in the year we would certainly have enjoyed the solar heated pool and large deck for relaxing.... More

The hosts are wonderful, very friendly and full of advise on where to go, what to see, etc. Breakfast was very good. The house is gorgeous, but needs some work. Wall paper is peeling in rooms, the paint is cracking and peeling. The bed left a lot to be desired. My partner is bigger than I am and there was... More

The really good things in life do not need many words. So does the Shamrock Thistle and Crown B&B. It is comfortable, clean and quiet. Add two very kind hosts and stunning breakfasts. And place it right between Ocala National Forest (nature, wildlife, walking, birdwatching, canoeing) and The Villages (restaurants, entertainment, shops, dancing). That's the place we spent one of...

Upon arrival, we realized that we were two hours early for check in time. We went in to see if they had a map of good places, and Anne and her husband were nice enough to let us check in anyway. The room was adorable and exactly what I expected. They made me feel like a guest in their home... More
