My wife and I have stayed in dozens of B&Bs from Maine to Colorado. This was easily the worst. The innkeeper was invisible except at breakfast. We checked ourselves in, found our way around the building, found restaurants on our own, etc, etc. The is plenty wrong with this place. Here is a short list of the biggest shortcoming: 1)... More

I tried to make a reservation. After calling twice and leaving a message I was finally able to speak with Noel and he told me the suite I was interested in was available and that he would call me back in an hour to book it. I called him two more times that day and left a message because he... More

Lovely, quiet house in great neighborhood. The breakfast is superb and you won't need any lunch. The drawback is having no coffee(!) until 9AM---since sleeping late is 7:30 for us, it's hard to wait so long to breakfast before starting on the day's activities. Previous comments about the multi-use shampoo/soap containers are unfounded--nothing yucky about squirting out some soft soap/shampoo... More

My husband and I booked the B & B with the approval of the owner using my prepaid B & B gift certificate. When we arrived, Noel, the owner, swiped my credit card for two nights before I checked out unbeknown to me. The gift certificate covered a portion of the room cost. When I checked out, I presented my... More

My husband and I booked the Woodburn Houston for our 14th Anniversary and it was a huge disappointment when we drove up to what we saw on the website. The landscaping was horrible which made the first impression think the house had not been upgraded since it was built. Also, when we walked up to the porch the patio furniture... More

A first-ever trip to Texas, for work and a couple of exploration/tourist days. And ten-days at Woodburn House were comfy and fit the home-away-from-home bill. Lovely Hyde Park area (bring your walking shoes and explore), and the WH is a few blocks away from a great variety of restaurants for your evening meals. (Try Mother's Cafe (vegetarian with the best... More

I stayed here with my husband for two nights. We stayed in the Woodburn room which was very spacious and comfortable. The B&B owner seemed very nice and served a lovely breakfast. The location is brilliant too - very quiet and peaceful, but with good bus connections to the city centre. We would definitely stay there if we were back... More

We arrived between the check in times of 4 and 7pm, but the key was waiting for us on the front porch when we arrived at 6:30pm. (We didn’t know if we would be able to arrive before 7pm, so we warned the owners in advance.) Woodburn House is a nice old house with wood floors, fans in rooms, and... More

Visited in June with my girlfriend. We stayed in a large separate room that was clean and adequately furnished. It had a large separate bathroom. Everything was clean and tidy however quite dated. We felt that given the location, the price for the condition of the room was too much. The Hyde Park area of Austin has better B&Bs at... More
