I’m a bit puzzled by all the wonderful reviews as our experience was very different. There was no welcome. We were texted prior to our arrival with instructions which I guess is acceptable but we never saw anyone. We were looking forward to breakfast - to maybe meeting the inn keeper. Someone named Craig served us but again no welcome and barely a hello. We needed to leave after breakfast and I had to ask whether we needed to see anyone to check-out. I then waited about 5 minutes for someone (I think his name was Denton) who also barely spoke to me. I paid and he said good-bye. Probably the strangest and most bizarre experience I’ve ever had at a B&B.
After a frosty reception we were shown to our room which was large and very interesting with lots of character and memorabilia, as is the rest of the house. The house is very grand and located in a good part of town. We enjoyed the complimentary drinks and canapés on the verandah. Jonnie was delightful and served delicious breakfasts. She was a credit to Brunswick Manor.
Maybe we caught the staff on a bad day? It was obvious on arrival, the gentleman who greeted us had his mind elsewhere. All business, no chat. We had booked 2 rooms. We stay in B&Bs all over and love old homes. This place was gorgeous on the outside, but extremely cluttered and dirty inside. Positive, you could control the AC in your room, but between the dust, broken ironing board and every inch filled with dusty knick jacks, it just felt dirty. Add the funeral home antique advertisement, the weird dress mannequin in the corner, it just had an overall creepy vibe. Breakfast was at 0830 and the staff had put all the plates with hot breakfast on the table by the time we came down at 0820. Just sitting there, getting cold. It was not the typical friendly service you get from a B&B. You felt more like a nuisance, than a guest. I’ve noticed when B&Bs have staff vs the actual owners, you lose what’s special about B&Bs.…
It is a magnificent setting for romance. The manor is a true joy to behold. Wonderful antiques and curiosities abound. My girlfriend was amazed at the decor everywhere she looked. Our room, The Sea Island Suite, was big, beautiful, and comfortable. The breakfast was sumptuous and flavorful, with a decidedly Southern flair. Our hosts were attentive and helpful when asked about the area attractions. Fresh flowers and sparkling wine welcomed us back after an afternoon of sightseeing. The stay exceeded all of my expectations. We will return next year (if we can wait that long!)
The Brunswick Manor Bed and Breakfast home, located in the historic district, was our favorite stay on our recent trip for three sisters. From the moment of our arrival until our departure, we were treated with true Southern hospitality. Thomas greeted us warmly and assisted with our mountains of luggage. Every area of The home is exquisitely decorated with pieces appropriate to the period. Our suite was perfect and completely private. The gourmet breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented on lovely China. 5 stars!
What a great place! We love staying in establishments like this when we travel snd The Manor did not disappoint. We were greeted by Innkeeper, Thomas Quinn, who took us on a tour of the over 100 year old home. The veranda was lovely for enjoying the early evening. The room we had was large and very comfortable. Now, the breakfast, it was huge with silky and expertly scrambled eggs. And! ham steak and candied bacon. Lots more too. We will absolutely be back on our next journey notth. Thank you Thomas!!
We spent two nights here and just didn't want to leave! We especially enjoyed the porch and greenhouse areas where we spent most of our time playing board games among the beautiful plants. The room was spacious and clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again!
Brunswick manor is absolute top of the line when it comes to bed and breakfast. Their breakfast was delicious and actually really good food. It wasn’t cheaply put together like other Bed and Breakfast do. This home is stunning! The artwork the details and the wood railing and porch are superb. This was actually one of my favorite bed and breakfast out of the entire country and I have been to 35 states! Thomas the innkeeper did fantastic job and was so eager to help in any way. The suite was spacious and had everything I could think of wanting! The entire neighborhood was beautiful with Spanish moss and palm trees. If you are looking for B&B in Brunswick or Jekyll island area please do yourself a favor and stay here!
We were very fortunate to find this wonderful bed and breakfast. We have travelled extensively in the USA, Europe and other parts of the world but this is definitely one of the best places we have ever stayed. Thomas, the Host, met us at the front door with a wonderful welcome and gave us a tour of the beautiful house and its history. It is an amazing place and has been refurbished to a first class standard. Every room is full of authentic period furniture and an abundace of beautiful china, glass, silver etc. We were forever finding different things to admire. Our room was lovely and we were struck with the level of cleanliness. Often older properties look a little tired but I defy anyone to find a cobweb or speck of dust under Thomas' watch. Breakfast was served in the dining room family style and Thomas wore his "chef" hat to make the most amazing freshly cooked breakfasts. Every day was something different and delicious. I now love biscuits and gravy! The outside is good too, set on a street of similar properties with a little park across the street. Just to make it absolutely perfect, it is very dog friendly. Our Gracie looked forward to her cuddles with Thomas and she had as good a time as us. If you are anywhere near this amazing B and B stay a night or two, you will not be disappointed.…
Not just a Bed and Breakfast, Brunswick Manor is a home away from home. Our stay at the Manor was delightful and the best part of it was our host Thomas. Gracious, knowledgeable, a fabulous chef and meticulous keeper of the inn. We marveled with some of the other guests at the superb maintenance of all the many wonderful antiques and collectibles. We speculated they must have a crew that comes in weekly to keep everything so spotless. We were awed to find out that Thomas is entirely responsible for the presentation of the home, in addition to his duties as chef and housekeeper, host and tour guide. It is obvious that managing this guest manor is truly a labor of love for Thomas. As others have commented, the house and grounds are enchanting, the surrounding porch a great place to end the day with a complimentary glass of wine and if you’re lucky Thomas might have a few minutes to spend with you to share the history and sights of his beloved South Coast Georgia. We will definitely go again.…
