“A special experience. Highly recommend it.”
+Breakfast was delicious in their dining room. Because I’m dairy free the owner made fresh scrambled eggs for me. Very accommodating, generous friendly about it. Although we were registered for a specific room, somehow we were overcharged for it. The owner recognized it herself and was lovely about correcting the error. The location is fabulous. The Inn is in this charming town of Ferndale.
−In our room, we had a wonderful old-fashioned claw footed tub. It was fine for us, but for some people, it might be difficult climbing over the edge for a bath or a shower.

“Wonderful stay right in the center of town”
+What a charming stay. Original Victorian home full of charm. The room was very cute and comfortable, the owners were very welcoming and the breakfast was delicious. Right in the center of town. Highly recommend.
−There was no shampoo or conditioner, so bring your own if needed.

“Great location, great old building, no window”
+We loved that the hotel preserves the memory of the college that preceded it. It is an old building from the early days of Texas, and it is wonderful that the past is honored. At the same time, the hotel has been renovated, and the room is pleasant to stay in. The location is excellent, right on the vibrant riverfront.
−The room we stayed in faced an inner courtyard, and the only window was the room's entrance door, which we had to keep covered with a curtain most of the time. Personally, we prefer a room with a window. If you’re already renovating the bathroom, wouldn't you add a shower handler? And if not would you not add a shower cap for female guests? Elevator was a bit old and slow.

“Lovely 180 year old historic Victorian with great staff”
+Lovely historical, well located home in charming Victorian Ferndale. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Beautiful grounds next door to the Hadley Garden. Just a block to downtown Ferndale and restaurants. Easy parking on property.
−Bed too soft for my back and not much in the way of room darkening…

“Charming, historic, great breakfast”
+Of course the house is over 150 years old which gives it tremendous charm. The downstairs sitting rooms are epic. The highlight was the breakfast. All of the ingredients the chef used (eggs, chorizo, berries and honey) came from her farm locally. It was fantastic. Everyone working there was super friendly and helpful.
−I was in a very nice room upstairs (The Garden Room). But, the whole upper area is essentially a converted attic. I am 6’3” so there was a fair bit of ducking. The room has no heating (I couldn’t figure out how to turn on the electric stove) or cooling (other than opening a window). Also, the WiFi signal was too weak to work up in the room.

“If you like historical architecture and amazing breakfasts, this is the place to stay!”
+The stewards of Shaw House Shannon and Richard were so gracious and combined with the historical property and a delicious breakfast, our stay was wonderful!
−The property is over 120 years old and some areas need a bit of TLC but the owners have only been stewards for a few months and I’m sure all will be taken care of within a short time. I would love to see the gardens when they’re finished!

“Great Victorian, pleasant new owners, nice bed and breakfast”
+New owner nice home the grounds good use landscaping help but the back deck off our room was nice.
−They advertised afternoon tea and wine after 3 but I did not see it. You can buy a bottle of wine. We brought our own They could use more wine glasses. Room is nice. Pet friendly although the house is not.
