Charles Bass House Bed & Breakfast

We were visiting family and friends on our recent round-trip, road trip north. We made reservations to meet friends at a great restaurant in Halifax and wanted lodging nearby. We were delighted to have found the Charles Bass House. Not only was it a beautiful mansion, the accommodations were absolutely delightful. Our host was most welcoming and generous with available beverages and an ambiance to enjoy a peaceful time after a very long drive. Our room was quite comfortable, expansive and exceeded our expectations. We wanted an early start upon departure and John prepared our breakfast as we dined in an elegant setting. We would highly recommend a stay at the Charles Bass House and intent to stay again when we travel on our next road trip into Virginia.

This bed and breakfast was delightful! Gorgeous historic house, we had a beautiful bedroom suite with a spotless bathroom, comfortable bed and wonderful furnishings. John, the host, could not have been more accomodating and the breakfast he made was delicious. We so enjoyed the hot tub the evening that we arrived! I would go out of my way to stay at this inn again.

We visited, passing through town, on New Year's Eve. My husband, 8-year-old, and I arrived at check-in to a warm and inviting home, decorated for the holidays, with nice music playing in the background. Our Host, John, greeted us and showed us our room (the suite) where we left our bags. He then granted our request for a tour of the historic property. John made us feel very much at home. The accommodations were very comfortable - bedding, linens, and towels, wonderful large shower with fantastic water pressure. Everything was very clean. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast in the dining room before departing the following morning.

Lovely Victorian house B&B, super clean, bed super comfortable, and breakfast was delicious French Toast, bacon and fruit. It has spoiled me for ever staying in a boring or questionable hotel again. The host is friendly and helpful but quiet and unobtrusive, so you feel like you have a new private home! I truly could not think of anything I’d change or improve here. Perfection! My only hesitation is more folks will know how wonderful it is and book up all the dates .

Read all the previous guests' reviews. Many of the wonderful attributes of this B&B have already been described so I will endeavor not to be too repetitive. John has created an exemplary B&B within his meticulously restored and maintained Victorian home. Although John was not at home when I arrived, I was greeted by Jazz music softly playing throughout the common areas. I felt very much at home enjoying the sunroom and the refreshments offered. My two-room suite with a private bath was well appointed and meticulously clean. The bed was extremely comfortable with crisply ironed sheets. I look forward to staying there again!

Wonderful place and John is a marvelous host. I liked it as he has only two rooms available and lives on site … so feels extra homey. The house is lovely … stained glass windows etc.. Breakfast yummy … I only wish we could have stayed longer!
