I had a truly beautiful experience! Every aspect of this inn is "perfect bed and breakfast" quality. The bright room was so comfortable and the veranda was great for relaxing on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I hope to return to the inn some day soon.

I must say that I have been fortunate to stay in a number of B&B's in the U.S. and Britain but the Lion and the Rose, due to the thoughtful consideration of the owners and staff, have made this stay memorable.

What a beautiful inn - with genuine heartbeat! Breakfasts were a gourmet delight- only outdone by the innkeeper's warmth and hospitality!

We had an amazing 9th anniversary weekend! The charm of the house and the hospitality was an unbeatable combination! We loved the Margaret Grace room- so sunny and cozy. We really appreciated the extras they did to make us feel welcome! The home made a wonderful memory for us! We hope to return very soon.

We are back home and are still talking about our stay in Ashville. My husband and I both felt so at home during our stay at the inn. The Lion and The Rose was the prettiest B&B we've stayed at and that's because of your charm and special touch.

We'd like to take this opportunity to say again how much we enjoyed our stay at the Lion and the Rose last weekend. We have recommended the inn to our friends, and hope to return again ourselves this summer.
