Having researched many B&B's for our weekend away, I settled on Mt. Scott Manor due to positive reviews of the breakfast, comfort, owner's etc. Needless to say, we were not disappointed in any way. Upon our telephone booking, Della was very polite and welcoming; asking if we would like a chilled bottle of champagne or a bottle of wine in our room to greet us.
Our original time schedule changed slightly and upon calling Della, we were graciously accommodated. We found Mt. Scott Manor easily and Della greeted us with a welcoming smile and provided a tour of the B&B. We were invited to help ourselves to the always open wet bar, kitchen goodies (Della made banana bread, fresh bread and pineapple upside-down cake) and coffee, anytime day or night.
We stayed in the Master Suite which was huge - over 1000 sq.ft. The first comforting feeling of the Suite was the cleanliness. The suite was immaculate. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very quiet.
Della asked if breakfast at 9am was okay (Della was willing to accommodate an earlier or later schedule if we preferred), to which we agreed and the next morning we filled ourselves on yogurt, scrambled eggs, bacon, the best pancakes we have ever had, coffee, orange juice, tea and conversation with other guests and with Della. It was an absolute delight.
Over the weekend we made ourselves at home at Mt. Scott Manor and became close to Della and Virgil (and Vincent and Jeff) and felt part of their family. We were welcomed unconditionally and for that we are very grateful.
This B&B is very welcoming and unpretentious. Having the comfort of making tea in the kitchen any time we wanted or taking a share of the snacks was more than we could have hoped for. We really felt at home and never once felt awkward or uncomfortable. I highly recommend Mt. Scott Manor. We will be booking the Master Suite again soon for another weekend of restoration.
Room Tip: The Master Suite is over 1000 sq.ft!
