It was great! Well stocked. Close to activities. HDMI cables were missing
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2023
Great property for our scientific gathering. Kitchen was very well appointed for our together cooking, and dining room with piano was great for eating and musical performances late into the evening.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·May 2023
The Pickford House was great for our large family get together. There were enough rooms for everyone and plenty of space to spread out. The large bar/family room was fantastic. We loved the 4 large tables on wheels that could be configured however we needed. The large kitchen and coffee maker worked great.
We loved having a private bathroom for each room but, unfortunately, the plumbing was problematic - very low water pressure and it took several minutes to get warm water. And none of the bathtub/showers worked for our elderly parents. They were small and extremely difficult to get in and out of.
The heaters in a few of the rooms did not work. The downstairs heater cycled on and off all night making a lot of noise.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Apr 2022
We organize large groups trips with friends and families a lot. This was definitely a unique and different experience in a good way. The house is great. I was worried it'd have a funky old smell, since it's very historical, but IT DIDN'T. It's kept very clean and fresh. The requirement of no noise outside didn't bother us, as we didn't do much outside; but we did get a noise complaint when a couple of guests gut too emotional during a political argument, when having a smock on the parking lot (we're Ukrainians, emotions fly high right now). But it's on us, we understand that it''s tough on the neighbors. So, know your group - will it work for you?
One thing I need to mention, is that, while understandably, not all guest-rooms are equal, 8 of them were comparable, but one (Charlie Chaplin) was obviously a maid's room in past life, located downstairs by the kitchen. Plan carefully who you put in there :)
