If you are a life lover and admire all the history that we are blessed to have, this is for sure a once in a life time experience that you can gift yourself many times. The Clifton House is a Jewel that sweet Mrs Nancy the owner lovely dedicated to perfection. There is so much joy in this precious home that I have to say I am enchanted. The location is also a plus because you are in a calm, safe, beautiful area with lots of mature trees and close to everything. We stayed in the cottage and felt home. The decor is a plus and Nancy made sure she preserved all that. It's all well taking care, flowers, unique vintage porcelains, art books, piano.... It's chic and sophisticated but is cozy and feels home. Also I have to say the chapter food. Is amazing. From the brownies and coffee that keeps calling me, from the chef level breakfast. Like a move you wake up every morning almost back in the 1920 when this house was meticulously built, and you have the joy to meet all new guests and learn so much about their life's journeys. How more special this can be? Charming in every corner. And I am so grateful we found The Clifton House and Nancy was able to accommodate us in a last...
Read moreBest bed and breakfast experience we have ever had! My wife and I pick a different B&B to stay at each year for our anniversary, and while they have all been great, Clifton House was a huge step up. The property is very well maintained, elegant, but not stuffy. We stayed in the cottage, and it was wonderful. Bed was very comfortable, and again, despite the age, the cottage is very well maintained. Plenty of excellent restaurants within walking distance a few blocks away, and a movie theater and a few stores. But as nice as the property and location is, the best part of this experience was the breakfast. The owner and hostess, Nancy, provided the most awesome breakfasts we have ever had. And she takes the experience to next level, like having a really delicious and elegant breakfast at your own home with friends. And she has no end of information, from the history of the house, the neighborhood, or Cincinnati in general. While we had some ideas of places we wanted to go during our stay, we didn't have a set agenda, and she had plenty of recommendations, and didn't steer us wrong once. This is becoming my longest review ever, so to finish it, we are already planning a...
Read moreOver the years, visiting family in Cincinnati, we have stayed in each of the rooms in this gracious house, including the detached guest house. Each is comfortable with a lot of personality, furnished with unfussy antiques and comfortable chairs, with huge windows and high ceilings. When they were young our daughters loved the Library Suite — with secret nooks and crannies. Happily there are no doilies or porcelain tchotchkes anywhere. There is plenty of light, natural by day and artificial|| ( and welcome nightlights in the bathrooms). The innkeeper has become a friend over the years. She know how to be warm and helpful without being intrusive. Many guests are visiting faculty to nearby universities, others have been writers or filmmakers or fashion designers—the breakfast table conversations have been among the most interesting discussions we’ve had anywhere. And I could happily sit in the living room forever, eating one of the brownies or drinking a glass of wine that is...
