Imagine an elegant home without television, with gracious hosts, interesting fellow guests, and lively conversation at breakfast and over a glass of wine in the evening. This is the Embassy Circle Guest House experience. Absolutely wonderful!

I can echo other reviews in describing this as a superlative B&B. I've only stayed in a few B&B's over the years, preferring to try luxury hotels when I'm able, but our stay in this beautifully restored home where virtually everything was perfect, has made me think I might do this more often. For me, the two biggest differences between... More
