At the Primrose Bed & Breakfast, guests are welcomed to a beautiful peach colored home with a large, spacious front porch with a porch swing. This 1892 home was built by Dr. Isaac Porter Primrose. It was once his doctor’s office and the home to his family. After being a residence for over a century, the home was completely restored as a beautiful Bed & Breakfast. The Primrose House, along with the Hyde House, are two of the oldest homes in Nelsonville.
Upon entering the home, guests will notice the gorgeous oak trim, hardwood floors, colorful stained glass transoms, original kitchen cabinets with marble countertops, and the beautiful antique stove/oven. There is a dining area where homemade breakfast is served each morning, a sitting room where guests can play a game of chess, and lovely outdoor spaces with patios, decks, and a beautiful botanical backyard garden where guests can spend time relaxing, unwinding, or enjoying a take home meal from a local restaurant.
At first our room looked clean, but after finding ants on a side table that we moved when the person for the house came in to wipe it down, there were plenty of cobwebs. Any seemed to be coming thru the walls, which does seem like an infestation. We didn't want a spray so bait traps were put out. The morning breakfast was cold, and not very appetizing. Bacon was extremely hard. Only gluten free pancakes were served. So the next day we left and got breakfast at a diner. The outside of the home was overgrown with weeds and dead plants. There were no lights to get to the hot tub that had a cover in it, it was around the back side of the house. But, all in all you get what you pay for, this was not very expensive.
We stayed in the Terrace Foom and it was incredible!! We loved our host Angel and she made the most wonderful breakfast. I felt very much at home. We will definitely be back!!
Love the unique architecture and fantastic breakfast
Beautiful house, the gentleman who owns it is very nice, his wife Jen not as friendly but great cook. When we first arrived we were really worried as all the surrounding houses were very run down,and the neighbors were in a group of 6 outside drinking and working on their cars, we also at first had to park in the road. Once in the house it is absolutely beautiful, the room was very nice, clean, and big. Breakfast was good, but crowded. If you only expect to sleep in Nelsonville and then travel to the surrounding areas this is a great place to stay.
Wonderful place to stay. The house is beautiful, our room was clean, warm, comfortable and cozy. The property is close to many great dining options as well as a good location for exploring the Hocking Hills area. The neighborhood was quiet and breakfast was good, a very solid continental breakfast with coffee, French toast, eggs, hasbrowns, and bacon. The check-in process wasn't intuitive but they sent an email explaining the process and it wasn't overly difficult; also the last that checked us in gave us a full list of activities and amenities in the area. Fully recommend!
Was nice to have comfortable seating in the room. Bed seemed like a double, not a queen. Wasn't very comfortable. Rug was dirty or stained but otherwise room was clean. Wasn't overly comfortable with the location. Breakfast was warm and ok for a continental breakfast.
This place was so cute and clean. Very unique with lots of character. All rooms have their own bathroom which was very unexpected. The morning breakfast was to die for better than any restaurant quality. We will stay here again!!
Nice old house with interesting character, parking in rear. Room was spotless, breakfast offered many freshly made options each day. Short walk to historic Nelsonville center. Only suggestion would be adding blinds or shades in addition to sheers. Would recommend and stay again.
nice room but because we arrived late at night, was not easy to locate as 1st choice office had closed and there was no one on property. also breakfast was not avail on property, had to go across road to diff property but we were not informed the night before and had to call in the morning.
Great property. Almost like walking back in time. The housekeeper/breakfast was professional and friendly. There was one small problem but it was handled quickly and professionally. We would very impressed with everything. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to get away. We will be back sometime soon.
Breakfast was wonderful
While the house is in an older neighborhood. it was clean & comfortable and well located for our activities. Breakfast for the weekend was good with made to order eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, biscuits & sausage gravy. My only negative comment is about the check-in process. We arrived at the house only to discover there was no way in. Another guest arrived and informed us we needed to go to a local business to check-in and receive keys. It seems to me that the location of the key pick-up and the check-in times could easily be included in the email confirmation eliminating confusion & anxiety for guests.
Breakfast was scrumptious every day. The Bed and Breakfast was centrally located in Hocking Hills area which was great! We will return!
The pictures in the advertising do not quite capture how lovely this place is, not just the bedroom but the entire setting including the available kitchen, the porches and an attractively landscaped garden, visited by a wild box turtle while we were there. Because of staff vacation breakfast which was excellent was served across the street. Not a problem for us.
