  • Good Evening, Our daughter- who loves victorian houses- was so hoping to be able to stay in a BnB on our trip August 2nd. We saw a beautiful queen room with a garden view, which has a cushioned window seat. Would she be able to sleep there? We are 2 adults w/ 1 child (10).

    Hello - I'm so sorry I did not see your inquiry till now. Thank you for your interest. I'm sorry to say that sleeping on the window bank of the Sunrise room would not be allowed. You may consider the Sawyer Suite - suitable for kids 7+. Thank you
