Harvest Moon Bed and Breakfast - New Holland

“

Not just furnished with antiques - crammed and cluttered with assorted old stuff, without any overall style or taste, as though the owners bought up... everything they could get their hands on at yard sales and flea markets, and just piled the stuff everywhere. I stayed in the "Cortland Room." The "Cortland Room's" bathroom was across the (shared) landing from the bedroom (requiring much locking and unlocking of doors, and putting a bathrobe and slippers on every time I got up to use the toilet during the night, with a lot of embarrassed tiptoeing across the squeaky, creaking floors), which was not mentioned in the Hotels.com description when I made my booking. In fact, the description said that all their rooms had a desk (not mine, as it turned out) and a coffee maker (not mine), and the tv's received cable channels (not mine). The description should have warned that the Cortland Room's bed was so high off the ground as to make getting on & off difficult for anyone short or old, and that the bed was so hard it was like trying to sleep on sandbags. Oh, and the bathroom needed a hook for hanging a bathrobe, and a fresh bath rug - I used a spare towel as a rug so I wouldn't be putting my clean bare feet on the old area rug that had been walked on by many shoes. I must say that the owners were very friendly, and Carl did accommodate a special request at breakfast. They tried very hard and want very much to be successful, but I think they need to do more careful examining of the quality of their accommodations, and less haphazard "decorating."
