点评:We've stayed in B&B's in England and the USA, and Karen and Mike are not kidding when they say that The Ivy is a genuine English B&B even though it's right here in the USA.
We had often traveled through Warrenton NC on our way to the Carolina beaches and commented on what a pretty town it was, so decided to take a motorcycle trip down there and explore it a bit. We chose The Ivy as a place to stay based on its historic appearance and good reputation, and we were very pleased with our stay.
Breakfast each morning is a true "Full English" (there's only one right way to do it and Karen knows what it is!), and the afternoon teas are genuine English also.
The house is a beautiful old Victorian era home; the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms up to date but in keeping with the house, and the parlor and porches are inviting, and a good place to sit and watch the world go by.
Warrenton has an amazing number of old homes still standing. Some are restored as show-places, some are still being used as family homes, and some beautiful old houses needing work are on the market for a very small amount of money, ready to be restored. It's worth a couple days just to walk around and look at them.
There's a nice restaurant and a couple of coffee shops within walking distance of The Ivy. We took full advantage of Karen and Mike's hospitality and very much enjoyed it .... we hope to be back soon!
翻译:我们在英国和美国住过 B&B,Karen 和 Mike 说 The Ivy 是一家真正的英式 B&B 并不是开玩笑,尽管它就在美国。
我们经常在去卡罗莱纳海滩的路上经过沃伦顿北卡罗来纳州,并评论说这是一个多么美丽的小镇,所以决定骑摩托车去那里探索一下。我们选择 The Ivy 作为住宿地是基于其历史悠久的外观和良好的声誉,我们对我们的住宿感到非常满意。
每天早上的早餐都是真正的“全英式”(只有一种正确的做法,Karen 知道那是什么!),下午茶也是真正的英式。
这所房子是维多利亚时代美丽的老房子;床很舒适,浴室是最新的,但与房子保持一致,客厅和门廊很吸引人,是坐下来观看世界的好地方。
沃伦顿 (Warrenton) 有数量惊人的老房子仍然屹立不倒。有些被修复为展示场所,有些仍被用作家庭住宅,还有一些需要维修的漂亮老房子以极低的价格在市场上出售,随时可以修复。只是四处走走看看它们就值得花几天时间。
从 The Ivy 步行即可到达一家不错的餐厅和几家咖啡店。我们充分利用了 Karen 和 Mike 的热情好客,非常享受……我们希望很快回来!
