Beacon Hill Bed&Breakfast

Accommodations

My bed and breakfast occupies two floors of the townhouse where I live. Two rooms with baths occupy the entire second floor.. The building has an elevator for luggage. I serve a full breakfast in my elegant dining room overlooking the Charles River. It has a chandelier from a French chateau, a carved walnut round dining table from Normandy which is about the same age as the house(1870), an Oriental rug and other eclectic antique furnishings.

Rooms/Suites

Each room is very large (over 350sq') plus ensuite modern bath. I have left intact all of the period details, moldings, fireplaces, panelled doors, and furnished each with an eye to the comfort of my guests as well as their esthetic pleasure. One room has a queen bed, the other a double. In addition, each has a double or queen sofa-bed.

Amenities

This is a private home in the center of Boston, an easy walk to anything and everything, the Freedom Trail, Boston Common, shops, restaurants, subway to Harvard and the Museum of Fine Arts, Gardner Museum. I am here to provide you with information to find whatever you might be seeking.

Services Offered

See above! Full breakfast cooked to order.

Restrictions

Chloe, a loving and docile white standard poodle, and Trushka, a 12 lb Coton de Tulear, share my home with me. Please enjoy her and leave your own pets at home! This is a NON-SMOKING home in its entirety. To come into the house one must go up about ten outside steps. Within the house a long but gentle staircase goes up to the second floor, but I am in no way handicapped accessible.
