Archer House B&B

The b&b was fantastic. Large comfortable rooms, the whole house is beautifully decorated with eclectic furnishings and art works. The host was friendly and helpful. You are made to feel at home and given wine and breakfast offerings. Loved it.

The house and especially the gardens are lovely. We stayed in the Red Room, which has a nice bathroom and the largest bathroom in the house. The room is very dark and although we understand that soft lighting is in line with the decor of the house, several of the side lamps were not functional and it was difficult and somewhat dangerous to move around in the darkness. The biggest dissapointment was the breakfast. We had read about the fresh fruit, eggs and croissants for breakfast but what Jackie made available to us was an assortment of bread loaf ends that had been stored in the freezer for us to toast along with a fruit salad comprised of mainly overly sweet canned fruit and this was in the middle of summer where fresh fruit is abundant in the markets! Westport has amazing bakeries and fresh bread and/or pastries rather than old frozen bread ends would have made a huge differnce in our overall experience. Bathroom linens were sparse and since the hosts don't live at the house, there was no opportunity to request an additional bath towel or wash cloth.
