We stayed at the Foxglove Guesthouse not knowing what to expect, it was our first experience with a B&B- and a very memorable one for all the right reasons. John, your host knows the area very well and easily directs you to great restaurants, sights of the neighborhood and quick public transportation. The neighborhood is quiet and parking is available...

My son, who lives in Seattle, found this wonderful gem of a place for my husband and me to stay while visiting him for 4 nights last October. John made us feel at home from the moment of our first email inquiry to our in-person welcome. The rooms are clean, homey yet lovely, and the breakfasts are so delicious that... More

I spent 4 nights at Foxglove and didn't want to leave. You can't help but fall in love with the neighborhood, the house and garden, the rooms and the wonderful spread John provides each morning. I walked to various downtown destinations each day and John was invaluable as host. Matching the beauty of Foxglove is it's cleanliness - spotless! I... More

While at an academic conference I stayed at the Foxglove up on the top of Capitol Hill instead of the big conference hotel. Everything about this place was terrific. John, the host and co-owner was welcoming and helpful. The room, like the rest of the place, was tastefully decorated. The bed comfortable. The location is very good. A bit of... More

We found this place on Tripadvisor. We needed a place to stay for four nights on a business trip and decided to try a B&B instead of a hotel. This was one of our best decisions ever!!! The house is beautiful. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood only minutes from Downtown Seattle. Everything about it is perfect, with... More

We stayed here for four nights in Room One. The room was beautiful and spacious with ensuite bathroom included. Overall, the house was also lovely and homely. The owner and host, John, looked after us well while we were there and talked us through the local area and main Seattle attractions. He also recommended places to eat and walk around,... More

My wife and I discovered the Foxglove in 2009, when we first toured Seattle for a couple of days prior to a cruise. What a gem! The three story craftsman style home is immaculate and tastefully appointed with antiques and period furniture from the Pacific Northwest. John, one of the hosts, collects and rebuilts Victrolas, and is also an avid... More

My husband and I chose to have our very small, destination wedding at the Foxglove Guesthouse on New Year's Day. Even before our arrival, John was very open to making the day a success. They went above and beyond by supplying extra flowers for the mantle (though not necessary given all of the beautiful orchids and such throughout the house),... More

Have been fortunate to stay here twice in 2011; once in the summer (with sun in Seattle) and once at Christmas (also, somehow with sun in Seattle). Stayed in two different rooms, and both were great. I have a favorite, but will keep that to myself. I don't decorate my home for Christmas, but Foxglove was decorated beautifully. A very... More

We loved our stay in the Foxglove guesthouse - we stayed here twice on a driving trip into Canada and back again. The house is beautifully decorated and maintained, the breakfasts are delicious and the hosts very accomodating and well-informed - we really enjoyed the Coastal Kitchen restaurant they recommended! The house is in a beautiful suburb close to the... More
