I arrived very early, but Chip was ready to accommodate me. My room was ready and he took the time to show me around his beautiful home. The Victorian house is really a mansion but made to feel warm comfortable with a large and lovely collection of period furniture. My king room with bath on the first floor was comfortable and furnished with a four-poster bed and a full-length sofa. Chip called a taxi that would get me up College Hill and provided tips on transportation options. Although I indicated that I would probably not have time for breakfast since I had to get to Boston for a flight, Chip had prepared a delicious breakfast complete with a freshly backed quiche, homemade bread, fresh cut fruit, juice, and freshly brewed breakfast. The aroma of the coffee alone was enough to get me up earlier for breakfast. Chip is a great host and conversationalist who genuinely loves interacting with his guests. His bed and breakfast is perfect for anyone seeking a more personal alternative to hotels and motels.
