George's At The Swope Manor

Perhaps all previous positive reviewers had hot water. Our room had none...as in none. Came in late so no staff on site. Did not respond to phone call. The reviews of courteous staff must have referenced other staff. So there was no shower or shave...next morning the same. When we reported the cold water, response was completely disinterested. The facility is a lovely building, but located at the intersection of semi truck route...all night long right outside the window. Even with earplugs it was impossible to sleep well. I would never return and cannot recommend it.

Incredible, meticulously take care of, charming little Victorian getaway. Detail of thought the thought and care in every corner is truly amazing. Somebody that truly cares about the building and what they do. When I lived in Ireland, we live in an old Victorian home that was built in the early 1800s. This lovely little inn reminds me exactly of it. Book your stay and you’ll be very happy. And if you stay, please post a comment so other people stay here and there’s a little gem stays around for a long time so we can continue to come back. That is the responsibility of any happy customer to the business that provided the service. Please be a good guest in their home. David

This place is a must stay. The staff is one of the most courteous and attentive staff I have encountered. The accommodations are five star and gives you a sense of how life was during the civil war era. There is a lovely library and multiple seating areas to relax in. The food is great and bed and breakfast is located in walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the square. An unforgettable trip for sure. Thank you Swope Manor!

I really enjoyed here. They were bit strict about 08:30 AM breakfast serving time, whereas most hotels will stop serving breakfast till 10:30AM.The lady was helping in the kitchen the guy was making or heating up the breakfast. They used all blue China which I thought was really a sweet Royal touch to the whole trip. Very very Historical feeling in our stay. They know what they are doing. I like that they only have few rooms and it's very personal touch and serving family table for breakfast. It's a beautiful, very very well kept Inn on York and Stratton. Very predominantly white population town, I saw very few non white people. It's all good. Just thought will make you aware. I have thought over and over about this place and revisited some areas of my memory. Since the whole house is full of antiques, with beds, chairs, decorative fire place, couches etc, it might NOT be a very suitable place for families with two or more kids. I almost got yelled at because my 2 year old decided to stand on the table, and the care taker came running to me, to make the baby stop. But it was not a heated situation at all, and completely understable. As the place is a museum hotel of its own kind. I would look for more modern and accepting of more races kind of place, if I decide to return to this town. But be aware hotel options are kind of limited.

So much better than expected! I 'm not a huge fan of B&Bs. I prefer anonymity and quiet seclusion. That being said, I had such a nice time at the Swope. We got there toward dinner time, the recently had issues with the dinner chef so the inn was not an option. There are quite a few nice places to eat so I wasn 't upset by this at all. The woman greeting us was so so very nice. She was giving another couple the 'tour ', so we wandered around the downstairs for a bit. It 's a beautiful historic home and a lot of good size rooms to explore. When it was our turn we were offered a cold beverage of our choice (wine for me of course) and given the rundown of the place. Staff leaves for the night and we were on our own, which was perfectly fine with us. Breakfast the next morning was amazing. We got to sit 6 feet apart from another couple and struck up a great conversation. There is also a nice back patio with a fire pit and plenty of seating. We had spoken to the couple the night before so it was nice to see a familiar face. As we spend our weekend speaking to more guests, it was apparent that most people were return visitors. They had missed their trip to the Swope in 2020 due to covid but now being able to get out, we 're happy to be back. Wonderful staff, nice rooms, comfortable beds, amazing food and drink. What more could you ask for? Visit the Swope, you won 't be disappointed l.
