I have had the pleasure of experiencing the warm hospitality of Ruth and Rex in the past and it just always gets better each time. I again had the pleasure of staying with them this week and you always feel so pampered when you leave. The B&B is so well appointed and the rooms so comfortable and relaxing. Everything including...

My wife and I spent 5 days at ThistleDown and had a wonderful time. The house and gardens are elegant and peaceful; the breakfasts were amazing (and filling enough to skip lunch!) The location is good, too, only 10 minutes to downtown. But the best thing about ThistleDown is the hosts. Rex and Liz (Ruth was away the week we... More

Thistledown House got everything right. Its definitely more of a classy/modern establishment versus some B&B's where you get more of a country decor/ambiance. My husband & I spent two evenings at Thistledown in the Under the Apple Tree room. Love the fireplace & sofa! Perfect! The room and amenities were beautiful with all the little touches covered. The thing that... More

We stayed in September for 2 nights at the ThisleDown House. We received a warm welcome and a lot of great tips on what to do and where to go for dinner. The room we stayed in was big and very cosy. Everything in this Victorian house has style including the owners. We felt very comfortable from the first moment... More

There is not much more I can say that has not been said about ThistleDown House. It is simply one of the best places my wife and I have ever stayed at in all our travels. We stayed for 5 days and honestly we could not fault them in any way. Rex, Ruth and Liz were outstanding hosts and treated... More

I had the pleasure of staying at ThistleDown House again this week. Having been a previous guest, I was very much looking forward to another stay with Rex, Ruth and Liz. There is such warm and welcoming hospitality at ThistleDown from the innkeepers. The house has an elegant decor, rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated and breakfast is as always... More

Thistle Down House has been recommended to me repeatedly by friends and custormers. The experience surpassed their reomendations and when I told a friend I had stayed there she smiled with a knowing look on her face. The rooms were clean, and luxurious. Since it was a slow mid week winter day, I was able to see other rooms that... More
